Written to the song "99 & 9" by Each & All - a HR manager at my work. She is phenomenal and I love her voice.

We Already Do
Feeling
the breeze whip past them, they huddled on the sand, staring out into the gray.
It was straight through the night, which brought them to the ocean. Shoulders
touching, they shivered as the wind streamed through their clothes as though they
had none.
Reaching over, she opened the pot,
holding the lid in the hand not clenching the container. The contents were
swept up, spreading out over the sea and dunes. Only the crashing of the waves
filled the silence. After several minutes, it was empty and they remained.
“We’ll really miss you, Willow,” he
said, eyes out on the water.
A smile crept on her face, tears at
the corners of her eyes. “We already do.”
