The Surf & The Sun

I had finally convinced you to swim with me
You were scared, unsure
But we went anyway.

Every step we took
You whimpered like a puppy.
I just laughed.

The water was calm, warm
I closed my eyes
Felt the sun kiss my face.

The faint sounds of jovial chatter
On top of generic popular music
Drifted with the tide.

In that moment
There was nothing
...and everything

No deadlines
No emails
No bills
No drama
No...bullshit

Just the surf
And the sun.

I felt free
I felt weightless
I was
HAPPY.
