Consolation Prize

Thought you should know:
When he kisses you,
He’s thinking of me.
When he’s making love to you,
It’s me that he sees.
When he gets down on one knee,
He’s proposing to me.
‘Though you’re the one in his bed,
He’s dreaming of me.

He’s thinking of me.
It’s me that he sees.
You’re just the rebound.
It’s me that he sees.

Thought you should know:
When he shows you that smile,
I’m in his heart.
He tells you he loves you,
Because we’re apart.
He reads my S.O.S.
When I’m in distress.
I’m the reason he goes quiet,
Why he feels lost and upset.

I’m in his heart,
Even when we’re apart.
You’re just the rebound.
He’s thinking of me.

And now you know:
When he kisses you,
He’s imagining me.
When he’s making love to you,
It’s me that he sees.
If he gets down on one knee,
He’s proposing to me.
You may be the one in his bed,
But he’s dreaming of me.

He’s thinking of me.
It’s me that he sees.
You’re a consolation prize,
While he’s missing me.

Ocean Meditation

A soft, rhythmical hushing drifted around her. Warmth tingled her cheeks. She hummed, inhaling a slow, deep breath, through her nose. A familiar salty, sea air scent washed over her. Exhaling through her mouth, she flickered her eyes open. Her toes sunk into the sand, as the water danced at her ankles. As she seeped in another slow, deep breath, she arched her head towards her left. Bright, crystal clear turquoise water stretched out around her. Holding her breath, she fluttered her eyes closed and returned her head to face forward. Upon counting to four, in her head, she released a soft, slow whistling breath. Her shoulders relaxed. A gentle sloshing disrupted the water ahead. She remained clam, inhaling another deep breath through her nose, keeping her eyes closed.

A glowing warmth entered her personal space. Keeping her eyes closed, a smile spread across her face. As she exhaled, her left cheek pressed into a soft fabric and two arms wrapped around her. A tingling spiralled from her heart. Leaning into the embrace, a hum escaped her. The grip around her tightened, until the gap between then ceased. As she inhaled another, slow breath, her smile tingled her cheeks, hearing the heartbeat of her companion.

The soft, rhythmical hushing of the ocean danced around them. As she continued with her meditative breathing, the two remained still. Any worries drifted away. Her heart hummed. A comforting calmness and warmth of positivity flooded her body, as she melted into their embrace.
