Endlessness

As we approach the beach from the city centre the air changes to be less humid and thick. The splashing sound of ocean waves mix with the sound of the urban noises. It is the early afternoon as we walk up the stairs to the beach with the vast ocean stretching along the entire horizon.

We are both stunned by the beautiful sight. The waves splash against the sand, pulling back and pushing forward again, leaving white foam behind. An endless seesaw of the seemingly infinite water and the firm unbending land.

"Wow." Airi takes my hand and pulls me closer to the ocean. 

A few minutes pass as we just stand beside each other, holding hands and fascinatingly admire this scenery before us. 

Some people are inside the water, swimming and playing. Others are sitting on blankets, enjoying a seaside picnic. 

My heart aches slightly, as I am spectating this view without being able to share this moment with Chiye. I can't even tell her about it now either.
