It's like being at the beach and playing in the waves.
Then someone on shore calls my name.
As I look back, I forget to brace myself.
The current is stronger than I am.
My legs are no longer beneath me.
The force of the water pulls me under.
The salt stings my nose and the back of my throat.
I fight to regain my footing.
The water settles.
My feet find the sandy floor.
I cough, I gasp.
My heart slows to its normal pace.
The fresh air fills my lungs.
I dig my toes into the ocean floor.
The tide washes against my back.
That's what missing you feels like.
When for a moment, the sea had swallowed me, but here I was again standing tall, ready to face the next wave.
