The Ocean

The Ocean by snappedbop

The sound of waves crashing on the shore of the beautiful beach override your thoughts.

You feel the overwhelming urge to Close your eyes and lie in the sun and soak in all of the Vitamin D you can get because you know you don't go outside this much.

You sip on your Virgin Pina Colada, slouching in your beach chair whilst still in your bathing suit.

The color of the ocean hypnotizes you, the gorgeous teal color, and you watch the water move back, and fourth. You never want to leave. You can't help but think about the cute guys you were gawking at, not wanting to take your eyes off of them, but they were way out of your league. You get out of your comfy beach chair, take one more sip of your frosty beverage, grab your snorkel goggles, snorkel, and flippers, and walk slowly to the water. You get to the water and it washes over your toes. It is cold, but you don't mind much. You walk deeper into the water and you get to mid-calf level and decide to put your snorkeling gear on. You put on your flippers, one foot at a time of course. You hook your snorkel to your goggles and put them on. You walk even deeper into the chilling water and submerge yourself completely underwater. You look around seeing your hair flowing through the water. It's like your in space, you feel weightless and safe like the ocean is protecting you. You look down and see small schools of gray fish swimming around your feet. At first, you were a little frightened. But then you realize, how must the fish feel? They are more frightened than you or any other, you are invading in they're home! So, you step back, making sure you rest your feet gently, not to startle the fish, and start to swim. You gaze upon beautiful sights. Coral, seashells and plenty more fish. You feel free. Like nothing can stop you from having such a relaxing and amazing time, So, you keeping swimming and come upon some large rocks you can rest on for a moment. You climb up a rather smooth rock with a dashing young man looking to rest a while as well. You take off your goggles and flipper and set them aside on the rock. You introduce yourself and he does the same. He seems nice. You chat for a short time and then he asks if you live there, you reply with a nod. He says he would like it if you two would go to a bonfire tonight at this beach, You barely know him but it would be rude to decline, So you say why not. A few hours pass and you arrive at the beach once more in different attire. You lock eyes with the boy from across the sand. You wave. He waves back. Dark hair, Hazel eyes, What's not to like about this young fellow? You walk towards him and greet each other. You end up talking until sunset. You seem to start to like this boy. He is sweet, witty and handsome. He even laughs at your silly and unhumorous jokes that you make unknowingly. You are happy about how your day went. but then all of a sudden, you gasp awake in your bed, for it was only just a dream.
