The waves tickled her toes as she sat cross legged on the beach shore. She sat there facing the ocean, staring glass eyed into the distance.
The moon light reflected on the water, making it look bright, cool, inviting .
The salty sea breeze wafted through the air, she closed her eyes an breathed it in, savoring that little moment of peace, "One last time", she thought to herself, "one last time."
A sad smile creeped up on her lips, the dull twinkle in her eyes and the determined expression on her face made her look beautiful, brave.
Absent mindedly she traced the same words back and forth on the sand, "Not going to live for them, not going to live for them." And then slowly , she rose from the ground and walked toward the water, like a queen leaving her kingdom behind - proud and majestic.
She walked in and didn't look back.
