Love in Seasons

It was Spring when we met and fell quickly in love. The blooms were beginning to bud on the naked trees and as they burst into bloom it appeared as if there were fireworks tethered to the ground by branches, echoing and celebrating the love that I felt exploding in my heart, filling me with a radiant kind of energy that made me feel that nothing in this world was impossible for the two of us. I told her this and she smiled that pursed, close-lipped smile that first attracted me to her.
