Modern Romeo and Juliet

            In the beginning, there were only two. They were deeply in love these wonderful two. Their love was seemingly true and they were both good people, but the only problem was that they had a huge obstacle. They’re of two families. One of the name Sol and on of the name Noc.

            It was just two lovers. A nice kind man by the name of Sun and a shy girl by the name of Moon. They were to be forever separated because their families hated each other. Their families never were around each other at the same time. They always did everything at opposite times at opposite places. One day as they sat together happily enjoying each other’s company, their families found them. A huge uproar started. Chaos plunged into the streets where they ruled. Eventually they were both punished. Forever destined to be apart, they now could never be at the same place at the same time. They were lovers fated to be away.

            In the end they decided that all they could do was let things run their course. To this day they are still apart. One appears in the day trying to warm us and give us hope. The other appears only at night giving us a glimmer of what could be. They are the sun and the moon forever apart yet always following the other.
