Sadly, for Romeo and Juliet, it did not

O, she is rich in beauty, only poor

That, when she dies, with beauty dies

     her stone

- Romeo

Act 1.5.223-224

I want a little something more...

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or, if thou wilt not, but be sworn my love,

And I'll no longer be a Capulet

- Juliet

Act 2.2.33-36

...Don't want the middle, or the one before...

Did my heart love until now? Forswear it sight!

For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

- Romeo

Act 1.5.49-50

...I don't desire a complicated past...

My only love sprung from my only hate!

too early seen unknown, and known too late!

Prodigious birth of love it is to me,

That I must love a loathed enemy.

- Juliet

Act 1.5.136-139

...I want a love that will last

If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

- Romeo

Act 1.5.91-94

Say that you love me, say I'm the one...

...Don't kiss and hug me, and then try to run. I don't do drama, my tears don't fall fast...

Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say "ay,"

And I will take thy word. Yet if thou swear'st

Thou mayst prove false. O gentle Romeo,

If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.

- Juliet

Act 2.2.90-94

...I want a love that will last

She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,

To merit bliss by making me despair.

She hath forsworn to love, and that in vow

Do I live dead that live to tell it now

- Romeo

Act 1.1.215-218

I don't want just a memory, give me forever...

O, swear not by the moon, th' inconsistent moon,

That monthly changes in her circle orb,

Lest that thy love prove likewise variable

- Juliet

Act 2.2.109-111

...Don't even think about saying goodbye, 'cause I just want one love to be enough...

Show me a mistress that is passing fair;

What doth her beauty serve but as a note

Where I may read who passed that passing fair?

Farewell. Thou canst not tech me to forget.

- Romeo

Act 1.1.243-246

...and remain in my heart 'til I die

What's here? A cup, closed in my true love's hand?

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.

O churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop

To help me after?...

Then I'll be brief, O happy dagger,

This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die.

- Juliet

Act 5.3.161-164,169-170

Forever...I want a love that will last

These violent delights have violent ends

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,

Which as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey

Is loathsome in his own deliciousness

And in the taste confounds the appetite.

Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so.

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

- Friar Lawrence

Act 2.6.9-15

Many times we think love can last a lifetime, and that it will never do anything to harm us. However, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, it was their love for one another that ultimately caused their untimely death.

The love between them was too young and too fast. As mentioned by Friar Lawrence, this kind of love can only mean destruction and "death." Love should be taken slow and seriously, so as love can last for eternity.
