Spring Love

After searching all morning, he finds her sitting by the old stone fence. The morning sun reflecting from her hair, silky and shimmering, beautiful reddish brown waves cascade down her shoulders and back. His heart skips a beat as she looks up and smiles to him, waving for him to come join her. He smiles back in return.

"I've been waiting for you all morning!" she playfully teases him. Her face is flushed with excitement. So nervous, she begins to fiddle with a stray wisp of hair that has blown into her face.

"If you had let me know where you were going to be!" he teases back, kneeling down to kiss her lightly before he seats himself across from her. So shy, they both stare intently at the ground before them.

"Did you bring it? I can't wait to see it," she looks up at him, still smiling the lover's smile. The intoxicating, all consuming smile that shines from within.

"It's right here," he says, pulling a package out from under his coat. It is a picture of the two of them smiling and looking into each others eyes. Holding it in her hands, she lightly brushes her thumb over his face, her heart swelling inside her chest, she wants to sing and dance and cry all at once. He leans into her and lightly kisses her cheek, her scent lingering in his nose as he pulls away.

Both of them wishing for this one single moment in time to last forever.
