Drifting...
Falling...
Helplessly...
Dreaming...
As my head hits the pillow my thoughts soon become a tangled web of sadness, fear and excitement.
Water all around me. The ocean is big and blue the water crystal clear and sparkling like diamonds. I float on my back letting the warm water kiss every inch of me.
Arms wrap around me, hold me, hug me tenderly. I know these arms. I'd know them anywhere. They're the same arms I imagine holding me when sleep doesn't come easily.
Together we float, laugh and talk letting the water carry us away further and further from the shore until all that surrounds us is water. Neither one of us seems to tire. We swim for what feels like hours.
The cloudless sky darkens and clouds move in. 'We should go back' you say and your big hands take hold of mine as you begin to swim with me to land.
But nature has made up it's mind. Waves as big as buildings rise in the distance fast approaching us. Rain begins to fall, hard and heavy. I can't see much, just your eyes peering into me. Suddenly it becomes harder to keep my head above water. Fighting and struggling against the current.
Gasping....
Fighting....
Holding.....
Choking....
Crashing down and throwing us underwater, tidal waves hurling us around like rag dolls. We surface hand in hand catching a breath before being thrown into the depths of the deep black water.
You hold on to my hand, refusing to let go. But another wave hits and we both tire. Our hands unlock and nature swiftly yanks you away from me. Out of my reach you float away calling my name. Screaming for me. I swim and swim but it's no use - you're gone.
You let me go.
Surrounded by huge waves I'm alone. Left to defend and save myself. But the waves are too powerful, the rain is to strong. Not enough time to catch my breath between each terrifying underwater hurl. I give up the fight and float away as everything goes black.
