Thieving Oceans


I watched the salty breeze rip through your hair. You sat in the sand just close enough to the ocean to put your feet in. The ocean that took you from me.

You dug your hands into the sand and closed your eyes breathing in the air. As I breathed with you, I watched as you faded away, and all that was left was me and the thieving ocean.
