"I wanted to protect you."

"Oh, kiss me before I turn into sea foam."
--인어공주 (Mermaid Princess)

And I remember when I met him, it was so clear that he was the only one for me. We both knew it, right away. And as the years went on, things got more difficult— we were faced with more challenges. I begged him to stay. Try to remember what we had at the beginning. He was charismatic, magnetic, electric and everybody knew it. When he walked in, every woman’s head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him. He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn’t contain himself.. And in that way I understood him and I loved him.
I loved him, I loved him, I loved him.
And I still love him.
I love him.

“What do you do when the one person you want comfort from the most is the one who caused your pain? How can I want so desperately for him to wrap me up in his arms but also want so much for him to leave me alone?”

"I remember feeling
your touch for the first time,
so soft it turned my bones into flowers.

People are like that, I’ve learned,
our hearts memorize them.

Some people take root
inside the marrow of our bones
and grow there."

I loved fairytales when I was a child, especially The Little Mermaid but I had a more child friendly version then.
