Salty Love
The wind tosses my hair in all directions
It feels great.
The salty sea air fills my nose.
It feels perfect.
The wet water splashes on my legs.
It feels so cold...
I fall back into the water.
It's unbelievably perfect...
And to make it all better, you're here.
You fingers entwine in my wet hair.
It's all okay now.
You hug me close.
I get butterflies.
You sing softly in my ear as we sway as waves splash upon us.
I'm hot and cold at the same time.
My heart speeds up.
Can you hear it, baby?
You smile at me with that grin of yours.
You're Edgar Allen Poe and I'm Annabel Lee.
You're Romeo and I'm Juliet.
You're Eric and I'm Arielle.
The waves knock us down.
I'm loving this.
Your wet hair falls into your eyes.
I get happy chills.
My brown eyes sparkle with excitement under the blue water.
Can you tell?
Our flip-flops we throw onto land.
Did you see them land?
the ocean is my ideal place for love.
