I want to run my head into a wall over and over again. I want to dive into the water and never resurface ever again. I want to erase the last five minutes from my life. But I can't.
Solie and I move closer to the water's edge and sit down facing each other on the sand. I pull a pen from the rings of my notebook and give it to Solie. I can barely look her in the eyes.
"Let's start off small. Come up with a topic. It can be personal or general, doesn't really matter," I stutter.
Solie squints her eyes and tilts her head a little. She's thinking about what her poem would be about.
"Does it have to be about something positive?" She asks.
"No.... I think u should write about something you know a lot about or experienced. It makes your writing more real." I really want her to write about me, or us. But I'm already too embarrassed to tell her that.
"Ok I know what I'm writing about. What now?"
"Just spill all your feelings on the paper. Let your writing represent you."
Solie nods and smiles. At least I can get my mind off what had just happened for a little bit.
The sun is going down and the ocean sways in peace. We have not seen anyone around for the whole day. Solie's still writing her poem. It's been about half an hour, although it feels way longer. I'm interested in knowing what she chose to write about.
"Are you done yet?" I ask trying not to sound too impatient.
She giggles. "Shut up. I'll tell you when I'm ready." She lays on her stomach and raises her feet in the air. She looks very focused on her poem. Cute.
By the time it's dark, she gets up from the sand, folds her poem into her shirt and motions for me to follow her back to the car. Gathering my things, we leave the beach.
