Neverending reciprocal enchantment and surrender is the secret sauce, Romeo, for lasting love.

Yes, we said that before. Does that apply even to the two of us who already fell in love? What about the aforementioned situations?

To all, Romeo, including us. Now, we did not make it that far thanks to our feuding clans, I know.

But even our noble love could have eventually faded without a little effort.

You're right, Juliet. Love is never an automatic thing, especially lasting love.

There are too many unknowns ahead in life. Any event down the road can be upsetting to love, noble or not.

Romeo, does that not explain why love is not just a pleasant feeling, but also responsibly chosen acts - by each as well as together?

No matter how little or how much love there is being felt, for love to last, a loving lifestyle will have to be maintained together.

Okay, what do you then mean by 'enchantment and surrender' and all that?

Well, it means being romantic with each other whenever we can, and not just in the beginning when love is ablaze.

Or when love is only a fizzle. But isn't that hard for people who got together for anything but love?

That tells how important mutual attraction and reciprocal fascination are.

Says Juliet

Once more then: you come after me, enchant me, and I surrender. And I come after you, enchant you, and you surrender. Ceaselessly.

That is, not falling into the trap of trying to possess the other or taking each other for granted?

Yes, boredom is the greatest enemy of love, Romeo. Let's give our noble love a lasting chance.
