Embrace

As I drove into the parking lot at Cove 2, the longing feeling welled up in my chest. It happened right at the moment when I finished pulling into a parking space and my attention shifted towards the water. The cold embrace of the emerald sea squeezing my drysuit as I go deep into the darkness filled my thoughts. 

I should have walked to the beach and let the longing consume me. Instead I foolishly walked across the street to get a cup of coffee. By the time I got back, it (the longing) was gone.
