Sinking
Caution: Emotionally charged sound effects
He was there.
He stood on the beach and felt the cold, wet sand around his bare feet.
The waves.
Crushing and fading away on the lonely shore, that shore with the logs and pebbles, the shells and the seaweeds.
Nothing.
Nothing mattered anymore without her.
Everything.
Everything seemed lost.
At this very beach he met her.
They even made love for the first time there.
And their kiss, their first kiss together, he stole from her on a night under a blue moon. It was chilly, she was cold. He came closer and put his arms protectively around her. His body shivered. He leaned and met her lips with hers.
It was all coming back now. The memories, images vivid reflecting upon the sea.
And loneliness.
For now.
For later.
For ever.
He sat down. He didn't mind getting wet. He didn't mind the water getting cold.
He sat down.
He closed his eyes.
Laid back and now the sand was all around his hair, he could feel it stinging his ears.
He wanted it to swallow him. Suck him deep down into the deep, cold soil.
The darkness.
He longed for the darkness.
As the waves came to surround his body, the white, foamy waves were there to take care of him.
Little by little they came and dug.
Dug.
Dug little by little.
They dug a hole.
A hole beneath him.
And he sank.
Slowly.
And little by little those very same waves came to fill that hole with this very same sand that was now engulfing his numb and motionless body.
Into the darkness.
He kept sinking deeper.
And deeper.
And there it was.
The darkness was gone.
A bright light shone.
Her hands?
Yes, her hands were there touching him.
They were resting on his shoulders, getting ready to slip onto his chest and pull him closer to her ethereal body.
He felt her.
And right there her essence was slowly absorbed in his.
Just like his body was slowly absorbed into the cold sand moments earlier.
One.
Together.
Again.

Really cool Ruth.
Thanks @skapaneas! ^_^
So powerful when read with the music, well done on the writing and the musical score pairing.
Thank you!! :D
This is the kind of feeling you get when you miss someone you were very close with.
People that haven't experienced this wouldn't know
Nice piece Ruthie
It is hard to understand if you've never felt it...
Thank you @samminator!! :D
perfect and romantic :)
Thanks a lot Mario!!! :)
What is the atmosphere in Greece today? Is it possible for the author of this note from the past to be all right and happy?
It's chilly and rainy down here, this makes it perfect for some melancholy...
Awesome. Too much tho. And I didn’t have the music on. Was his name Romeo? ;)
Thanks! I know it's a bit overwhelming, I blame it on the music I had on while writing.
Hehe! I didn't ask his name, but he sounds like a Romeo to me :P
Those are great original images to go along with such engaging narrative!
"As the waves came to surround his body, the white, foamy waves were there to take care of him." Love!
Thank you! :D
