I look out at the ocean as far as where it meets the horizon. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. All I hear is the waves crashing and birds singing. And in that moment everything feels right. No stress or worries about life. Just me and the ocean. I finally let the breath out and open my eyes.
There's a gentle breeze blowing as I walk along the beach. Sand between my toes, hair blowing. As I walk the water barely runs over my feet. The water is just right. Not to cold and not to warm. But perfect. I look down and there's different seashells laying around. Mostly broken but some whole ones.
I stop and let the water run completely over my feet. I stare back off into the distance. I softly whispher as the waves crash into each other. Telling the ocean my secrets because I know they are safe. I look back at my footprints that haven't been washed away by the water yet. I think to myself, "I don't want this to end" but I know it's time to go back to the real world. So before I leave I say aloud, "until next time." Because you will forever be my fairytale.
