An Ocean Between Us.

Memories of us comes in waves. They crash into me, and I’m easily swept away. I find myself trying to swim in this vast ocean of heartache. I’m fighting against the currents, but before I know it, I’m drowning.

I reach for something to hold on to, but there is nothing to save me from going under. As I make it to the top, I am gasping for air. Another wave comes crashing in, and it takes me further away.

I know this is a fight I cannot win so I surrender. I succumb to its ripples, and I let it take me. As I descend, I stare into the abyss accepting my fate.

I feel the water filling up my lungs. I close my eyes, and I draw my last breath — and suddenly, I’m back on the shoreline.

And as I lay there, I feel a sense of tranquility coursing through my body.
