A true horror story — love is terrifying, unpredictable, and heartbreakingly real.

Someone else will live
the dream I dreamt.
Someone else will be
the hero of my own story.

Now what should I do?
What can be done now?
I am a failed man—
with a lot of success,
fame, a name,
countless awards...
but not you.

What should be done now?
Let me just pray.

I never got the chance
to make you happy.
You thought
I didn’t deserve
that privilege.

Then let someone else
do the task
for which I lived
my whole life.

Seeing that—
my skin burns.
I feel like
I should be going mad.

But you are happy.
And maybe—
maybe that’s enough
happiness for me.
