A Memory

The night air was cold and invigorating, the belligerent sea swept in, defiantly lapping over the sea wall and the wind seemed to tear into the very fabric of my existence.

I felt stoic against it all though, intoxicated by contentment - for the first time in months I felt alive.

We stood there and smiled at each other, warm expressions against the elements, beacons of happiness in the chilled night. We embraced; to my left was a wall of shimmering neon, to my right a raging ebony sea and before me was a creature with the most amazing eyes looking back.

Then we kissed and for a moment and time stood still, the wind and sea receded and raw emotion coursed through my veins.

As we parted the elements all rushed back, the sea roared, the wind caressed us, briefly they complimented my feelings.

I looked at her incandescent visage, we smiled and headed home.

We held hands, the sea sang, the wind whispered and a fire burned in my heart.

Yet, tomorrow would be a different day.
