I see your head, bobbing

in the waves, a length 

away from mine; You

stare silently, breathing

water, but bubbles, in your

mouth.

We are in deep water,

where the ocean is a heavy

allure beneath us, our 

limbs suspended, unsure;

You plaster your bangs

back.

I suddenly feel a smile

light up my eyes at you;

how close we are, and 

you are still quietly

bobbing.

In our moment, the vision

pulls back, and there are

1 million people hanging

in the waves around us,

looking at each other,

silently.
