I opened my eyes to sunlight
and you

you were on top of me,
sweating and soaked

I was laying on a beach towel

you were staring at me with wide eyes,
panting heavily

you were asking me something,
but I couldn't hear you

was it the water in my ears
or was I in shock?

I didn't know

all I knew was that I wasn't dead

I'm still breathing

why aren't I dead?

I should be dead
