sounds

I jumped into the cold, dark, blue with only one thing in mind, the life of another. I don’t really know how it happened, all I remember is that I need to be there, and I was. I kicked my legs and I paddled my arms but by the time I got to her, she had gone under. I pushed down into the darkness with only my heart to guide me. I descended deeper and deeper as my fear grew larger and larger, but that would not stop me for I was already passed the point of no return. And then! There it was, I could hear a single noise through the thickness. It was the noise of a heart beating. I knew I was closer to her. I kicked and paddled and the sound grew louder and louder. When I reached the highest pitch I was then holding the coldest, most comforting hands that I will ever touch. I started my ascent immediately and soon after I was already at the shore with her in my arms. I did not panic for I knew she would always be with me. I set her down and gave her a part of me, the part that we hold so dearly. She accepted and as I knew all along she was with me.
