long time no sea

I am going to the sea after a long time.
I saw it last in December 2007.
Yes, I saw the ocean in October last year...but it is not the same.
It was not my sea...tamed by the memories of so many hours, spent with precious people.
I didn't have the time to tame the ocean. I just took the memory of the deserted beach. Of people, I had got to know a day before, but my inner self felt like I have always known them. Of those rare moments of bliss when you are not thinking, just being.
Nevermind...
The sea. I am looking forward to seeing it. Smelling it. Feeling the cold wind blow through me (I have never been on very friendly terms with this wind). Breathing life.
It will be a long-craved home-coming.

I wish I could live by the sea some day.
