i remember the spring. It was a long time ago when i was still young i think. I remeber the smell of the roses that i held in my hands.
i was nervous then unable to control my shaking. Ther stood my love her golden hair falling in perfect ripples accross her ivory face.
She filled my heart with a joy i have never felt before. i approached her unaware of the trouble that she would cause me but even if i would have known i still would have pursued i was such a abrupt youth. She smiled at me the heavenly light that surrounded her face giving her the look of the divine. i gave her my insignificant roses ashamed at their inaquedecy to compare to her unearthly beuty. She took them smelking them the freshly cut roses filling the air with the vision of butterflies and spring. i saw the butterflies flutter about before they dissapated back into the glamour from which they came. She laughed her laughter like a bubbling brook its unworrying tone disgarding my darkest thoughts. She took my hand in her own the touch sending shivers of commitment down my spine my heart wanted her so much i felt a sharp pain in my chest. she smiled as i overacted the effect clutching my chest and saying" My lady your touch is fair and true. i may die now and reach the heavens the very angels jeaolous that they could not have felt your loveliness." i fell to the ground exagerating the act. She who played along grasped my head in her hands and looked deep into my eyes. i felt a warmth from them that could penetrate the darkest abyss. She was close so close in fact i could not look away i was held entranced by her eyes their deep oceanic blue an open doorway into her soul. She smiled a smile so pure i sighed in contentment. Her hand raised and she signed the sign for pure love her delicate hands gracefully enacting the soundless language. i sighed again the beuty of the moment erupting out of me i placed my hand on her face and pulled her towards me her eyes closed i caught her up in a kiss so beutiful so untainted we both lost contact with the waking world. We embraced and the grass leaped up to catch us as we fell unfettered to the earth together. i gazed into her eyes feeling the need to express my love for her as well. " i love you until the end of all things" i whispered she smiled and signed to me"without you is the end of all things to me my love." i felt a moistining in my eyes they charged with the tears i let fall unhampered to the earth where they seeped into the ground and from their landing a small yellow flower began to grow. We both wathched as it rose from the ground lavishing the fragrance of springtime after a rain upon us. We both smiled as we saw it reach full bloom the flower the shape of a wheel. The petals were as silk and the stem was the deepest green ever to grow. She lightly touched the flower and looked inside a giggle escaping from her lips she bent the flower towards me i saw the reason for her delight. Inside it was shaped as a heart. The pollen was a deep red color and the pistol was wrapped around the heart shaped coneter giving it the look of a border. The smell was delicious so strong and lovely one could taste it. i looked at her and said "this is my love for you given form this flower will forever show the world what true love and commitiment can achieve. i give this to you my love along with my everlasting love this flower we will grow forever this place is now holy to me my angel, i shall call it Amore Gale. this flower shall be called Lucia after its inspiration you my joy." she smiled the waters rushig up to embrace me as she cried we embraced and i felt my heart go out to her. She clung to my neck kissing my cheek and leaning her head on my shoulder. She looked at me i could almost see her inside her eyes. She touched my eyes her lips kissing them. she then signed to me her beutiful hands saying" and this i give to you my reason for living. look above us you see that star there? that will be our star the red one twinkling like a ruby in the firmament. i will always be with you my love we will live together for all time on that star." she finished with a flourish her passionate signing excited me and i pulled her into a kiss. i felt a part of her enter me then the union of our souls was complete. We felt as one united in love and bonded by commitement. We arose as one feeling the time to time to anouce our love was now. We began our walk to the castle our hands intwined.
