“This is a song I wrote when I was dating a guy who wasnt exactly the popular choice. His situation was a little complicated, but I didnt care. I
started this song with the line This love is difficult, but its real. When I wrote the ending to this song, I felt like it was the ending every girl wants
to go with her love story. Its the ending that I want. You want a guy who doesnt care what anyone thinks, what anyone says. He just says, Marry
me, Juliet, I love you, and thats all I really know. Its sort of told in a character kind of thing, where its Romeo and Juliet, and its not me saying
that Im getting married or anything...but I think its fun to write about it.”
