Wrong Person, Write Love.

Prose 007

"And you'll meet someone who will see the hidden glint behind your sad eyes – and will remind you that even though some love may not last forever, so will the pain.

I wanted to be that person, but it turned out to be you."

"I always loved fairy tales, but I never dreamt of becoming a princess.

Weird as it may seem, I've always imagined myself as a witch-- that of which is usually seen as an antagonist and is meant to live alone forever.

But that was before I met you.

You always smile so genuinely that I unconsciously hold my breath everytime I see you coming (even though I know you'll just pass by for it wasn't towards me you are going at the end).

You've seen me as someone who also deserves to be happy, despite my uncontrollable tendency to push away people who show the tiniest hint of affection for me.

You made me want to be a princess even just for once –because only then I'd have a happy ending with a prince like you.

But unlike Cinderella, I am not someone who is kind and beautiful. Neither do I have a fairy god mother who knew my heart's purest desires, for not even me is aware of what I truly want.

I am a witch; cruel and unworthy, and the only way you'd belong with me is if I use my words to make a spell and capture your heart.

So I did.

I wrote poems and songs for you, turned them into enchantments and waited for you to fall in love with me.

I smiled and it did reach my eyes. You brought light into my gloomy world, and I started seeing the beauty in butterflies and rainbows, something I ought to just ignore before.

You've made me realize how staring at sunsets and stars can fill the self-inflicted holes in my heart – the same way someone else's fingers can lovingly fill the gap between mine.

I turned myself into someone I never thought I can be. You became so dear to me that even though I was a girl – I wanted to even become a knight just so I can protect your heart and soul from people who might hurt you.

I became so in love with you; that I forgot what I truly am.

I thought I can change.

But I'm a witch, after all.

I ended up hurting you that very moment you told me you've fallen in love with me, and I pushed you the very same achingly way I did to everyone who genuinely cared for me.

And that is, I can still remember warning you before, how I ended up being cursed.
