keeping my head above the water.
you splash me with salty water and laugh.
race you to shore you say kicking off the bottom and speeding ahead.
another beat passes before I do the same trying to catch up to you.
no way am I letting you beat me that easy.
catching up wasn't hard.
another push forward and im in front.
toes in the sand and I've reached the shore.
there, I win I scream laughing at your sour face.
actually you're taller than me so I win.
connor laughs and I stamp my foot like a toddler.
hey, you might have lost this race, but you won my heart you say running back into the water.
