My eyes squinted at the water, small bubbles of escaped breath scattered before my sight obscuring the perfectly untainted blue liquid around me. I could feel myself floating amidst the cerulean body, hear the gurgling rush of crashing tide deafening my flushed ears.
I was floating unconsciously in my conscious wake. Drowning yet not entirely struggling for air—for whatever it was above this…place. I was simply floating aimlessly like the white cottony figures across the sky. I examined my fingers; all wrinkled as if soaked for hours in water but…dry. As dry as the things the light sets upon for days and days on end. My reddish-brown locks dancing along with the rippling water.
Shit. How long have I been in here?
Based on the crevices on my fingers and skin I seem to have been here for hours. I closed my eyes not in a attempt to relax any panicked emotions that should really be crumpling inside my chest but instead…it was too succumb myself to the lulling rush of waves and the feel of cold water which was slowly drenching my entire being with memories.
I saw images—pictures of yesterdays. I could feel a sly smile tugging on the corners of my lips. Crap. The sound of water filled my ears. My mind started to play scenes from memories of the past over and over again as if they were dailies being replayed by a director in a criticizing manner.
I could feel my whole body falling deeper---further into the blue abyss, my skin now colder and soaked with the treacherous water.
I flinched.
An image of your playful smirk flashed before me.
My fingers twitched.
A warm tingling sensation spread like wildfire from the tip of my nails to the very nape of my neck, remembering with regret the feel of your rough calloused hands holding mine.
Shit. Deeper. I’m falling deeper.
My cheeks burned as if newly rubbed hands pressed their heated palms into them.
The back of my eyelids darkened in color and my body recoiled at the feel of your ever-familiar touch, your broad chest colliding with my head as you pulled me in a hug.
Deeper and deeper I went.
I was drowning now. I could feel my chest heaving from the loss of air, my heart wildly pumping blood in a desperate attempt to keep its bearer alive. It hurts. So bad.
No, no, no! I’m drowning. Drowning.
I’m loosing it. I’m loosing my hold.
I'm loosing my breath.
