ocean eyes

the beach was serene.
the tide swallowing the shoreline, its white foam tendrils licking at the foundations of sandcastles built on the edge. The air was thick with salt and the breeze slowly picked up its pace.
the sky was painted in pinks and orange as it bled into the clouds, the sun slowly descending to set. 
the lady stood at the shore, the tide lapping at her feet, the salty breeze fanning against her face. 
her surfboard lay strewn near her feet. she looks ahead of the ocean, the waves rising and falling with rhythm, matching the pace of each intake of breath. her being filled with the all so familiar feeling of comfort and serenity, a change from the usual energy and excitement she was engulfed in. 
her eyes reflected the rays of warm sunlight as they peeked through the pink and orange clouds. She looked back and her eyes landed on her friends.
their laughter filled her ears, the smiles on their faces just as beautiful as the sunset in front of her. she wished the sun hadn't set so soon. her gaze locks onto familiar forest green ones, her own eyes glistening slightly from the intense emotion spreading across her entire body. he smiled, all so familiar with her finding comfort in the beach. she returns the smile, her heart fluttering with unbridled solace. 
she looks ahead once again, her throat tightening as she takes in the last breath of the summer breeze this year.
She truly hopes that the snow never falls.
