At eighteen, I wanna dance with the waves. I wanna feel them crashing over me. I want to happily lie down with them... and try not to breathe under. Maybe the deeper, the better. Maybe the longer, the best.

At eighteen, I want to see how they continue to flow, I want to see how they fade by crashing over and over again.

I want to be one with the water and then flow, forever, through any season: through dried tears, through overflowing feelings.

But I know, the ocean is wide and it can never be dry. And waves will never be gone; and so as the pain, it will continuously flow through me... forever. Piercing every second like it doesn't hurt like hell.

Hell no. It hurts. So much.

But I know the waves are nothing compared to the pain. The current is not strong enough to drown me...

...but the pain does.
