even lovers drown

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him up for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

William Butler Yeats

easiest thing

"It is so hard to leave - until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world."
- John Green, Paper Towns.
