Love has such a chokehold. Fairytales have paint it in such a way that, even the most clevder believe that, if given the efort, love will prevail. I have found that you cannot keep a love that does not want to be kept. They will do anything in their power to get to the coresponding tenderness of another heart. Fairytales are just that, tales. Life is cold, hard, and painful. But this was a journey I had to make to learn and understand life's bittersweet taste.
