Letting the water rush around my ankles, I whisper your name to the seafoam. I roll my tongue around each syllable, as if enunciation alone could draw fate lines between us.
The water recedes, and takes with it my breath. I see now that the ocean is what taught you to leave me gasping for air.
Hello again friends, it seems my voice has found its way back to me. I wonder what I will learn from it this time around.
