An unintentional oath we took
From the day that we first met
To always stick by each other
Until our very last breath
Scarring each other with memories
Both the good and the bad
We still kept by our promise
And gave it everything we had
We strived to make it work
Even when others shot us down
Hopeless we were, lost and trembling
We were royals without our crown
Two young-lovers embodied as one
Struggling to find our way
We were destined to be together
And for that chance, I did pray
Answers did arise quite soon
Courage and strength did we summon
To run away from this unaccepting world
To turn sweet this sour lemon
We emptied our love one night
The bold stars our only witnesses
The gift had finally been unwrapped
Along with passionately shared kisses
We knew this was the moment
That cemented our fate
Not even our family could tears us apart
For we shared something undeniably great
We spoke to each other warmly
Not an utter of harsh or bitter words
Comfort we found in each other
And a feeling as free as the birds
Our parents did discover us once
Many years later after our defiance
We were still quite young but happy
And parents still didn’t agree of our compliance
They tried to break us, shame us
Turn us against each other
They even involved the police at one stage
An idea of my mother…
We still somehow made it through
Scratched but still alive and together
Two children did we also produce -
For little Stella had wanted a brother
We then drowned each other in time
Growing old side by side
Proud grandparents we became
And lived a life that was sublime
I never regretted anything we did
In fact, I’m glad it turned out this way
I write to you from the heavens
To let you know that I miss you every day.
