Every time I close my eyes, it's as if I'm on that boat again.

I can still hear the water rippling, and feel the waves course through my body.

I can still feel the raindrops drip onto my pale skin, as I waited for someone to come rescue me.

I can still remember when the boat hit the sand-filled land, hearing the sea crash onto the shore, while the spring breeze blew through my dirty blonde hair.

Standing there, gazing at the purple fading to orange sky, I realised how truly alone I was; because not one person came to look for me--

not one.

I've often imagined that if I do get lost at sea, or get captured into the woods, no one would come looking for me; at least if there was someone else in the same situation, they would rather look for that someone else. This includes my best friend who has a best friend of her own. Not saying that people should put me first in everything, I would just appreciate if I was number one in something.
