Anna says she doesn’t know why the girl would pick the boy over the phantom in “The Phantom of the Opera.” I think I know why. It is like our first love. They awaken something in us—teach us how to sing and how to hear the music. Even more, they teach us how to enjoy the music. They make us who we are. Normally, they are the “bad one” for us. Everyone around us sees it. Everyone around knows it—everyone but you. You walk around in a ray of sunshine that burns the doubt from your heart.
It is this “bad one” who is really taking the risk. They come and open something that used to be closed, and give it like a present to their love. In return, they loose. They loose something of a second chance. They give, and it is the very thing they give that makes the loved one able to live—and able to walk away. And the boy comes in on his white horse and of course you go with him. You break a heart and don’t look back until you realize it was your own heart that you broke.
