(Matured Contents) "You can't have a cake and eat it too." ~~~~~ Sirena Calantha "Every stroke of my brush paints the path of our love, with each color representing a different facet of you that makes my heart skip a beat. As I layer on the paint, I realize just how much you mean to me. Like the pigments of my masterpiece, my love for you will remain vibrant and colorful for eternity. Just like the brushstrokes on my silly drawing, my heart will never falter in expressing my affection for you. But Sirena, I've come to realize that your happiness is not connected to me. You also have to live for yourself. Sometimes, the final destination is to let go, and I think it's time for us to part ways. It's time for us to stop crossing paths." - L.F.
