She went running through the tall, green grass as the soft ends of the grass swept past her smooth, tan legs. The yellow sun, dim compared to her long blonde hair, was shining over the hill side without a single cloud in the sky. Breathing in the fresh air made the lungs feel full and new. The birds played in the sky, singing sweet songs of happiness. The sky, as blue as the lake across the field, made the world seem so much bigger. I have never seen such a beautiful site, then I saw her look back at me.

She giggles, “Dear, why are you smiling ear to ear, is there something I’m missing?”

I shake my head softly, trying not to break eye contact with her beautiful blue eyes. “Angel, I have never seen blues eyes that sparkled like this sun beating off the lake. I have never seen someone run so peacefully though the untouched grass like you’ve just done. This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been, but when you turned and smiled at me you took the breath away.”

She blushed, her cheeks as red as a fresh wild rose. Smiling making the world even brighter.

At that very instance, when the world stood still and I could barely breathe in the wide open space with more fresh air then imaginable, I knew that my love for her was more than anything I could ever dream of. The girl that cared for someone before herself changed me into a man, not just an immature boy I once was.
