1 review"life is an ugly, awful place not to have a best friend." -sarah dessen
0Unrated
She had nine months of living like a mermaid
Before King Triton gave her his blessing
And allowed her to take a breath of air
She had sixteen years to learn how to live
How to survive in this strange new world
Sixteen years of feeling like she didn’t belong
Like she was different, alone
Until she found someone (finally)
Who took that first breath of air
At the exact same day she did
(December 10, 1989)
She was wrong, so wrong
She wasn’t alone at all
Before King Triton gave her his blessing
And allowed her to take a breath of air
She had sixteen years to learn how to live
How to survive in this strange new world
Sixteen years of feeling like she didn’t belong
Like she was different, alone
Until she found someone (finally)
Who took that first breath of air
At the exact same day she did
(December 10, 1989)
She was wrong, so wrong
She wasn’t alone at all
