one thing the red lady said, which i now know is true. love hurts. so much that it burns. so much to bear. so much that it tears apart one fragile heart, of a girl who never loved before. i should have listened, should have learned and trusted her, to never fall for the forbidden spell. now i'm cursed, and i want to burst out crying like a baby. how can i cherish it, if i'm damaged. deeply damaged. because it hurts.
