Spring break of 2019,

My best friend and I adventured to Florida

The sunsets each night

Dazzling like fluffy cotton candy in the sky, 

And the vigorous sound of the waves sang in my ears 

We soaked up the sun everyday,

Feeling the warmth touch my skin. 

The chilled taste of ice cream danced on my tastebuds  

Warm sand brushing against my feet as I strut down the beach 

Looking out on the water 

Watching people play,

We were in paradise

Staring off the balcony at the horizon line

Pink, Orange, Yellow

Painted across the sky

Gazing at the stars each night 

Trotting down the beach collecting shells and looking for crabs

It was soon coming to an end

All the adventures

All the people

All the smiles

All the salty smells

And soon we would have to go back to reality

The time came

Tears rolled down our cheeks 

It was time to leave our happiness

No more sand 

No more sun

No more soft serve

This is home
