I cried in pain and threw myself beside her, kissing her cold lips. Her lips were salty, cold as ice but I didn't let go.
I didn't want to let go.
I tasted it with pain and joy, I tasted my own tears. I repented to the body, praying and mourning just like God was standing right in front of me. I poured all of my bitternesses into her ears, whispering to her that my happiness was full of sorrow. I knew she can hear no more, though I kept talking, treating her like my dear soulmate. The girl gave no responses, and I stood still beside her till the sun started to hide itself behind the horizon. I stayed silent for God knows how long, till the waves gently kissed my feet, I finally walked away, leave the body behind with the seagulls.
Oh, and I also took away the knife in the sand. I will never come back again.
The girl will be back in the embrace of the ocean.
