Alone in paradise.

Memories..

Rush out of me in a force like white frothy foam from the sea.

I stop to catch my breath.

My shoulders ache and are bronzed from the hot sun.

For moments, I stand frozen, ensnared in time.

Emotions continue to bubble and boil over.

Far off into the distance, boats loll on gentle waves.

A pang throbs inside my chest and I inhale.

The fragrant scent of ocean air fills my nostrils.

I exhale, sharply.

Light begins to fade into an indigo sunset.

Salt water and sweat form a pool between my breasts.

It is warm even at dusk.

Laughter startles me from my daze.

Suddenly, I turn to leave.

The shrill cries of gulls follow me home.

There is beauty in every direction I choose to go.

My footprints leave an imprint on white sand.

It feels like the lonliest place on earth without you.
