She was happy and carefree.
Dolphins were her best friends.
Then she emerged above the water to look at the outworld.
And she met him.
The piano player.
She fell in love with his music,
And she fell in love with him.
He was perfect,
Just like his music was.
She loved everything about him.
His strength.
His charisma.
His intelligence.
His good looks.
His good nature.
His hypnotizing blue eyes.
His soft touch.
His delicate hands.
His seductive smile.
His contagious laugh.
The sound of his voice, grave and strong.
She thought about him day and night.
She dreamed about being part of his world.
She hoped that by some miracle, she could be by his side.
But mermaids and humans cannot ally.
Their two worlds cannot be one.
The water keeps them apart.
The mermaid in the sea,
The human on the land.
She couldn’t breathe on the land.
He couldn’t breathe in the sea.
The miracle could never be.
The sea was her home,
And the land was his.
She returned to the sea, heartbroken,
While he stayed on the land.
Her friends, the dolphins, consoled her.
Some love stories are not meant to be.
She needed to forget about her love.
She needed to heal from her pain.
She needed to go on without him.
