Chasing Tide (A Merman's Tale And The Human Who Desired Him)

One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one.

Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others.

You feel every burn, every ache, your senses awaken, and greedily await a memory to sip in and then wreck your entire being.

She took everything.

His Light.

His Heart.

His Soul.

It had no end.

For years it went on like it would never end.

But, it did.

Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe.

"My heart has heated for the human and my blood has flown for him. Every time I thought of him, my heart would ache. It would ache so much I couldn't breathe, the feeling of despair, yet sweetness... Even so, I still couldn't stop thinking about him."

So...this is how it feels to love a person.

"I belong to you, just as this merman belongs to the seas. Like a falling leaf belongs to its roots."

"Nothing can stop me from falling into your embrace."
