We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don’t go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story baby just say yes
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story baby just say yes
‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Sampai sekarang pun ngga tahu siapa sebenarnya Romeo. Hahahaa. Cuma Tuhan yang tahu dan waktu yang bisa jawab.
Ngomongin soal Romeo-Romeo gini, jadi ingat suatu pemikiran yang muncul abis nonton ulang salah satu episode di serial Friends. Waktu itu adegannya Monica marah sama Ross gara-gara Ross bilang ke Emily pernikahan mereka (Ross dan Emily) sebaiknya diundur aja. Alasan Ross bilang gitu, karena gereja yang rencananya jadi tempat pernikahan mereka tiba-tiba ditutup buat renovasi, padahal Emily pengen banget bisa married di situ.
Di adegan itu, Monica kira-kira bilang begini : “Kamu sih gampang aja bilang kayak gitu! (*mundurin tanggal pernikahan buat nunggu gerejanya selesai direnovasi) Emily mungkin udah ngerencanain setiap detil pernikahan ini sejak umurnya 5 tahun!” Intinya bukan soal gerejanya selesai direnovasi, tapi soal Emily udah dari kecil membayangkan bakal nikah dalam suasana gereja yang dia kenal. Sayangnya Ross ngga ngerti jalan pikirannya Emily.
Setelah sekian kali nonton ulang Friends (hihihiii) dan setelah beberapa kejadian dalam hidup saya, saya jadi berkesimpulan bahwa yang ribet itu bukan berapa bulan yang (katanya) riweuh gara-gara ngurus undangan, foto pre-wed, gedung, catering, lalala, lilili.. tapi nyari Romeo yang mau ngerti dan emang pantas berdiri di depan sana, menunggu saya walking down the aisle. Ngga segampang membalik telapak tangan. Ngga segampang bilang, “gue cocok sama dia”, “ada chemistry antara kita”, “rasanya nyaman kalo jalan sama dia”, dan bla bla bla lainnya.
Udah ah. Mau bobo. Anyway, yang mau denger lagunya bisa download dari box.net saya di sini.
