Romeo and Juliet Advice Column

Dear Columnist,
I really need your advice, but let me explain to you a little about my family before I tell you my problem. My family and another family have been rivals for as long as anyone can remember. My father can't even stand the thought of anyone in our family talking to any of them. The feud has gotten so bad that the whole town seems to be against each other. I don't think that my father will be satisfied until Lord Montague is dead or just gives in first. 

Now on to the problem. I am in love with the enemy. Last night at my family's party he showed up. After we saw each other across the room we ended up making out. I really feel like there is something magical between us. I can't get him out of my head, I haven't stopped thinking about him since we kissed. I want to see him again, but I know my father would be really angry if he found out. What do you think I should do?

-Juliet

Love Song

The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift can be used to help determine the nature of love. For example, when Taylor sings "But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain" (Swift). This shows that even though the relationship is over, she still looks back to the times she had with him. Also, it demonstrates how even though screaming and fighting may not usually be enjoyable but she misses doing it because she was passionate about the guy. Furthermore, when Taylor sings "You're so in love that you act insane" (Swift). This proves that she was indeed in love with the guy and that they acted a little crazy at sometimes. This demonstrates the nature of love because its saying that being in love causes you to act insane which would mean that the nature of love is crazy. Taylor Swift's "The Way I Loved You" can be used to help determine the nature of love.
