Look at me, look at me what do you see?
Am I who I am or am I, not?
All of the people who love me for me,
Are the same people who don't.
What do you see when you look in my eyes?
Do you see a real person or just a lie?
If you won't hate me for me, then I'll burn,
To the ashes this beautiful mask.
Fear in your tears and its clear that you just
Can't accept me for who that I truly am.
Turning away, from this pain, disarrayed
As this ugly face burns down in flames...
I was mesmerized by the sound of her voice. It was serene, as if an angel appeared in front of me. It was beautiful yet so sad.
All I ask is for me to be free...
I clapped my hands as she bowed.
"That was beautiful." I commented.
"Thank you." she said, smiling.
We were alone under the starry night sky. The wind sent forth a chilly breeze. The ocean waves flooded the shore, leaving behind a trail of bubbles. She stands in front of me, looking up towards the sky. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Are you cold?" she asked.
"I'm fine. After all, I live here. You could say I'm already used to it." I grinned.
She giggled. "That's good."
I flushed. So cute.
I've been meaning to ask for her name, but I'm afraid to ask, even though we've met up a few times. She never asked for my name as well. Maybe we're the same?
"Say, I know this is a little late to ask, but what's your name?" I blurted out.
She looked at me for a second before giggling.
"Before asking for someone's name, aren't you suppose to introduce yourself?" she teased.
"That's... true I guess," I cleared my throat "Leo. My name is Leo."
"Leo huh," she said, turning around. Her long brown hair swayed with the wind. She leaned her head on her shoulder. "My name is Anna." she said before walking away.
Anna, meaning grace. It really suits her, that name.
I looked towards the sky and saw the sun peeking behind the horizon.
Time to head back home, I guess.
I dived beneath the sea water, swimming deeper and deeper back home...
A/N: thanks for reading the first chapter! This chapter is someone else's P.O.V of the main character. Next chapter will be the main character's P.O.V after a year. And if anyone didn't catch on, Leo is indeed a merman :L
