Our Life
Our life is short, so make every second counts.
To my friend, who will be in my memories forever: Abby.
Blank paper
Blank mind
She has to do it, she has to finish before tomorrow, this is her homework, she have to do it.
But her mind refused to work with her, so she on her leg, and move from the small stair in front of her house, a beautiful wooden house in the middle of nature itself, green everywhere, flower blooming with the smell of Spring, melodies by the bird artists, but her mind is so blank, she can't even notice it.
Walk by walk, steps by steps, to find her an inspiration, but nothing came along, until she saw him.
Short and messy hair, wearing a boy-sized farmer shirt, with dirt on his face and a old hat, he seems very occupied with that something, what is he doing she curious?, he's checking the tree?.
When she approached, she gave him a smile and the boy notice her, he smiled back, scratch his hair in confusion not know what to say to the pigtails girl in front of him, suddenly, The girl yank off his hat, and run away.
The boy from confuse to surprised, and laugh out loud, he gave chase, seeing the pigtails swinging behind her back.
They climb up to the tree, and sit there, waiting for the day to die off, with the small talks and childish giggling, that's how their friendship begins.
His hand on her eyes, he wanted to make this a surprise, he lift his hand and she stare at it for a while, before hugging him, making him blush.
It was a wooden swing, hanging on the tree, the tree, the swing, the nature all around them, making it more lovely and peaceful, she kissed him in the cheek, blushing him again, and she sat on the swing, gesture for him to come, and he did, help her swinging.
From that point on, they become something more than just friends, from the kiss on the cheek to something more, and it just keep going and going, until.
He kneeled, and takes her hand in his, by the tree and the swing, he wanted her to be a part of his life, his dreams and soul, and he wanted this tree and this swing, their old favorite companions to watch this, and she said:
''Yes….''
They married in front of the tree, with witness of their families, friends and the swing; they shared their rings together, and a kiss, is not their personal life anymore, it was their life, two souls immerged to one.
Her stomach begins to hurt a little, the baby is kicking, she smiles, and take a hand to smooth the baby-the pod inside, and a part of their life now, a new member of the family.
He took her out to see garden they planted together, suddenly, they heard the lightning strike something in the distance, and both of their eyes widened.
It was the tree.
He takes out a saw, and begins to cut the tree down.
He works hard, days by days, to finish it:
A baby's bed
And the tree is now truly become part in their life together, now with the little cutie in it, smiling at both of them.
They have a happy life together, with shared loves, tears, and warmth; they grew old together, with white hairs.
If you ask what's Anna will draw if she goes back to be that little girl sitting in the stair in front of her house, she don't know, but now, she knows, something pretty, something happy, something they both cherish.
Their life
Our life
And she begins pulling the pencil around the blank paper, creating her greatest master pieces of all her life.
And in it, when she finished, was something she proud of the most.
The tree, a man, a woman, and a little girl playing on the field, in the distance, a tree and a little swing hanging on it
Below she signed it.
Our life.
