And she said "Juliet had Romeo. I have you."
Life. Life happens when you aren't expecting something to. Other people make decisions, be they right or wrong, helpful or hurtful, and carry out their choices. You may be in the process of trying to work something out, deal with something, fix something, make something better... but that doesn't always matter to other people. What matters to them is their own issues. The funny part of that is... sometimes they try to make your issues their issues, and they do things to affect you, about things that don't actually affect them.
Sometimes people make decisions you don't want them to make. Or, they choose the path you really hope they don't choose. You understand. You really do. Doesn't mean you have to be happy about it. Because the choice affected you, but it wasn't the one that you felt was best for you. It hurts to have to realize that. Even though you know they made the choice that was best for them.
Sometimes, things happen before they should. Because you are impatient.
And then, in that moment when you are writing vaguely about all the events that have happened recently to affect you in some way, you realize that all this time, all the lessons in patience were supposed to mean something. There really was a reason to learn it all. But you ignored it. You made the choices you wanted to, because you didn't want to wait. And this is where you are at, because you didn't learn it.
Well, shit.
Oh, my Juliet. I will always long for you, until you return to my arms.
