Sandcastle Dreams

Folder: 
..Water..

She was the kind of beauty you would read about. Easy on the eyes, tough on the inside and a lover within. The kind of lover that kept a wall around her to protect herself from any heartache- the worst discovered sin. A wall not strong enough to stand when her emotions caved it in, melting those walls like a wild Atlantic wave washing away a childs fortress in line of high tide-made of already dampened sand.

Her fortress wall stood tall amongst the waves, molded by the hands of true love. The only truth she'd ever felt was such strength of love. A feeling so familiar, one she'd been embraced with for so long- yet just four letters sang in all the pretty songs. Those were the lyrics you would sing aloud. 

She was the kind of beauty you would dream about; with eyes like stars that shined even when the sun was out,a cosmos of colors at night when her imagination would speak outloud. 

Her beauty was the Vision behind closed eyes when she's already gone, when you're left alone to find with open eyes the empty space in the room- the spot she would air into feel secluded. But she was never that recluse, her presence always shined as if she were the only person to be viewed. With your eyes closed once more you can hear that laugh,giddy as could be, such a childish crave for attention as she'd say "play with me!" Her loss for actions showed she never really knew of a game to play,but that didn't matter anyway. The jubilant tone of her voice could take your days temporary pain away. And there you were, again, lost in those eyes.... You could feel her presence with you whether she was there or not because she let you know in her mind "life is all about the journey" (though she would admit when the storm came she never knew where she was going to go) and she took a chance to leave her presence wherever she was at. THAT bravery made you thankful for all the sacrifices she had to make, you got to know her stories path and the ways of fate.

You see, she was the kind of feeling you would never forget about, where every atom of your body still remembers who she is. With stars in her eyes and daisies in her hair,  a smile that took the pain away- as she frolicked around dancing aimlessly-just to embrace everything, everywhere- she'd come from to the places she'd never been. 

Within those moments where it was just the two of you left, a hug reminded you she was the sweetest scent you've ever breathed in, a warm embrace fueling you heart to beat a strong and steady rhythm.  She was the serendipity teaching you to feel acceptance and guidance to take the next leap- off those fortress walls still standing in the deep. You were soon to learn about what you discovered in life as you jumped into the ocean of adventures moving you through as the waves sweeping you off your feet. She was the memory you still dream about. She is the reason you like to read, the most beautiful character an author could allow one to transform to be.
