My hands scrape down the rocks as my body slides into the water
Feet first I fall slowly into the refreshing body of wetness.
Two seconds:
My head is submerged as I keep my mouth closed holding in air
My hair flows away from my head making me a medusa lookalike.
Four seconds:
My eyes start to slightly burn but I keep them open and stare
I stare at the bubbles from my dip, floating to the surface.
Six seconds:
My legs spread apart and make motions like a frog and move me down
My arms move instinctively like an airplane, to push down further.
Eight seconds:
I moved down and am still ok on air, I listen to the complete silence
The silence is unbearable so I think. I think of him.
Ten seconds:
I think of his smile and his hair, along with the way he held my hand
I remember catching lizards and singing in the hot tub.
