i keep closing my eyes & remembering.
jumping forward, from rock to rock until i found
the perfect one, with a dip that became my throne.
pushing my toes into the sand, hoping to keep them
warmer than the Pacific would allow. i was wearing my
blue sailor shorts & a white tshirt that didn’t hide
my bra very well. i could feel the sun forcing it’s way
between my cells, leaving his red scratches upon my
pale skin - but i couldn’t care. the ocean waves were
singing for me. sitting as still as i could, waiting until i
could hardly handle the distance, i leapt into them,
embracing their potential to obliterate my existence.

i was spinning towards the surface. my eyes were filled with
the salt i could taste on my lips, & Eric was pulling me upwards,
laughing.

Wow, this is beautiful. Sounds kinda like something that would be from an poetic/adult novel version of The Little Mermaid (and not only because the guy’s name is Eric…) :D
