The Story Of Us

The Story Of Us

A Poem by Nelyn Salvaleon

HEY, STEPHEN!
You can sit down and listen.
You used to be my everything,
And I used to be your darling.

In a famous LOVE STORY
Of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet,
You were my Romeo
And I was your Juliet.
IF THIS WAS A MOVIE,
We might end our story happily.

RED used to be my favorite color
Until the day I felt blue because of you.
I was so INNOCENT,
So you grabbed that opportunity to fool me.

Now I remember how foolish girl I was before
For believing all your sweet lies,
Especially when you said you and your WHITE HORSE
Will always there to catch me whenever I fall.
I bet you remember it ALL TOO WELL.

You were the one who told me
To stop finding A PLACE IN THIS WORLD,
‘Cause I already had a place in your heart.
I said, “I hope you won’t CHANGE.”

I was so happy when you told me
You'll love me FOREVER & ALWAYS.
Wish those words you said were true,
So I wouldn’t wish to go anywhere COLD AS YOU.

I remember those days
When we were together
When you were not yet a cheater.

I thought YOU BELONG WITH ME,
So I trusted you,
Because that’s THE WAY I LOVED YOU.
But suddenly, EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.

I thought you’ll be MINE forever,
‘Cause you said TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE,
But you found another better than me.
And that’s the reason for the TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR.

Now you say, “Let’s BEGIN AGAIN.”
But it’s too late for you to SPEAK NOW,
'Cause you’ve done hurting me.
And I will never ever let that happen again.

Yes, I was ENCHANTED to meet you,
And I was FEARLESS in loving you,
But I was wrong in trusting you.

Wish I could go BACK TO DECEMBER
When we first met each other,
So I could keep my EYES OPEN
To see your INVISIBLE intention.

I’m now 22 years old,
But I still remember
How you made that fifteen-year-old girl
Burst into tears.

Even so, I’m still thankful
Because there’s something I’ve realized.
There’s no reason to say, “COME BACK... BE HERE,”
Since I can BREATHE without you anyway.

What I have to do now
Is to say the word "goodbye".
Don’t beg for another chance,
‘Cause WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER.

I used some of my favorite song titles by my favorite singer-songwriter named Taylor Swift. I drafted this a long time ago, and now I'm able to share this here. I just love Taylor and her songs.
