D-

I threw something in the sea for you

A beautiful object surrendered to the foam

I stood with my dress gathered above my knees

Between two friends alive in my soul

My feet sinking in the sand

I tossed it gently

The ocean swallowed

Aqua bled into teal

The sun made my shoulders and nose freckle

The temperature was just right.

If you've read this far, you know my thoughts are with you.
