The War

No matter what it takes,

Through trials and heartbreaks,

We will find a way,

But we may make a few mistakes.

Nothing we do is perfect,

But, damn it, we'll be so close.

I never meant for things to be this hard,

But doesn't the best take the most?

It may seem like I am not trying,

And it may seem like I'm getting distant,

But if this plans on going on,

I must remain resistant. 

Romeo and Juliet,

This is the classic case,

No matter though how hard it is,

It's you I won't replace.

If it takes a little longer,

Or we grow slightly apart, 

We still will be together,

For you own a part of my heart.

This is very good! keep it up.

Very good. Good rhythm and good rhyme. I'm a sucker for well-written poems; particularly ones that rhyme. I know that's not the thing in vogue these days (I don't know why) but thanks for writing a classical styled poem that sends such a universal message about the nature of love and the sacrifice that it requires to make it worth anything at all.
