I dip my toes in the tide adjacent to the edge of my all-consuming paracosm. The water is cold alluring unsteady absolute.
Within it lies the demise of one thousand dreams 999 unfulfilled wishes And just over 13 βwhat ifβs.
Right outside my humble fantasy I spy a silhouette, my potential self.
Warily I take a closer peek. The girlish apparition reveals nothing She seems to hold her breath while I lean farther in And at long last, deserting all juvenile fancies, reality greets me as I timidly wade Into the waves.
