It hits me in waves.
No pun intended.
The Missing You Tsunami smashes into me out of nowhere, dragging me out to sea.
I am lost. Swimming along the shore desperately searching for a way back to normal.
I doggy paddle, then front crawl, keeping my head above water until
A rip current rips me. Swirls me around and pushes me back out again.
It draws me out then feeds me back to the shore.
Tumbling and spluttering like some confused octopus I crawl back up the beach
Find my feet and
Keep walking.
Keep walking.
Keep walking.
Until I hear the distant rumble,
And the Missing You Tsunami threatens me again.
