“Mermaids can’t decide which world they belong in.
Their tails tell them to swim far and deep.
Their upper body tells them to reach for the sun.
It’s like being in love with two people at once.
Both bring out different worlds within you.
And you may experience happiness with one, but long for the other.
The way we miss sunshine in the rain.” –
