ONCE UPON A TIME spoiler 2x16
I wanted to write about a woman who had given up her heart.
I wanted to write about a woman who had ripped it out and put it in a box in order not to be weak anymore.
I wanted to write about a woman who had bid love farewell, for it was useless.
I wanted to write about a woman who aimed at happiness, but inevitably got every single thing wrong.
I wanted to write about me.
But now it's too late…
The heart which I've treasured in a box has returned to its rightful place.
It feels warm, and seems like it's singing and shedding tears of joy.
I touch my chest, yes, it's right here.
How did I live without it? Had I really got rid of it?
I don't remember how, when and why…. I'm just glad it's back underneath my skin.
"Mother…"
My daughter's voice, my beloved daughter…
She is so beautiful. She's beautiful and she is mine and mine only.
I smile to her like I believed to have forgotten, her voice blends into my heartbeat and I take a step forward.
I want to hold her, for when I held her in my arms the first time I wasn't feeling anything.
"Regina…"
I reach out with my hand.
I want to touch my child, my precious child…. Nothing else. Give me my child!
A thud.
The heart that earlier was chanting, now is seeping in pain. Like a needle that is growing under the skin.
I hear someone screaming and the face of my beloved daughter grows darker and she calls me again..
"Mother…. Mother!"
She holds me to her.
When has she grown so much and into such a beautiful woman?
Why hadn't i noticed before?
I stroke her cheek.
Her skin is soft but her tears don't fit with her perfect looks.
I wanted something else from life and I regret it now, now that my heart is back.
Now that my heart is back, I'm dying. Now that I could finally love my baby…
"You would've been enough.."
