Broken Lines
Distance wasn’t so bad at all, when you exactly know where your direction is. One milestone is enough for a heart that can draw another step to take it.
Tiffany laid her eyes on Taeyeon, whenever she looked amused by how the flowers bloomed, whenever she wandered around listening at the sound of water falling softly on the stones, whenever, those eyes of hers was mesmerized and held captive by someone else.
Tiffany saw how it sparkled everytime she smiles. Tiffany saw how inlove they were, everytime she laughs.
It can be in a form of a broke line, a guide to an end point, a guide to where you should go and a guide to a bigger picture you might wonder.

Maybe that’s where it went wrong, where the space between them turned into a distance they never knew they wouldn’t be able to cover. Tiffany understands it now, Tiffany realizes how much her desires were the ones who failed her kind of perfection, not Taeyeon, but her.
She once again laid these teary eyes back at the woman she’s been staring for quite a long time now, and she didn’t expect, that woman would look back.
And just like that, broken lines remain broken, when the end point wasn’t met, especially when someone only thought of it as a need, bu
