Sometimes I feel…very different from everyone else.

While others recall childhood memories of playgrounds…

I can remember nothing but water.

Even now, I never stray too far from the sea…

And sometimes, I swim out so far, I almost forget that I have to breathe.

Of course, swimming isn’t the only thing I’m good at.

When I sing, people around me get kind of…hypnotised.

It awakens strange, forgotten dreams, of broken ships, and drowning men…
And how I held their hands tightly beneath the surface.

But I’m old enough now to resist such childish urges…

In fact, I think I am MUCH older than I appear.

This life on the land is just a fleeting dream…

And soon, I will return to the place where I belong.

Because I remember who I am now…

Mermaid.
