The lake was where it started and where it would end.
I emerged from the mess of bushes and tree branches into the clearing of the lake. I approached Ale quietly; his back towards me.
It was a truly beautiful night. The weather was warm with a slight cool breeze. The breeze kept me from any sweating or from making my skin feel sticky and uncomfortable. The moon was at its fullest and it shown brightly in the night sky. The lake reflected a mirror image of the perfect moon. It was summer, so the flowers around the lake created a rainbow of colors all around the lake. It was all just..breathtaking.
I was still a ways away from Ale, so he had not taken notice of my appearence. As I got closer and closer to him I couldn't help but reminisce about how we met. The day we met it was almost identical to tonight, it was almost ironic.
He had been standing at the lakes edge, as he was now. At first I stood there in shock because this was my secret hiding place. I had gone to this secret lake for years and never had I encountered anyone else. I had tentatively approached and I cautiously said hello. He turned in that instant as shocked as I was, but also in that instant I had decided that he would be special. I don't know what it was about him, that had made me think that. Maybe it was his shy smile that melted my heart the instant I saw him. Maybe it was love at first sight, but who knows? There are really no words to describe my feelings towards him the second I locked eyes with him.
After that night I bumped into him almost every night. He would stay on one side of the lake and I the other, only exchanging smiles and glances. It continued like this for a week. Neither of us having the courage to talk to the other. Unti that fateful night that spiraled into this epic summer love of ours. I couldn't help, but smily sadly as the memories overflowed; one lonely tear escaping my eye.
Over the course of the next few weeks I found all the reasons to why I knew he would be special. I fell in love with his smile that could melt the sun itself. I fell in love with the way his hair fell into his eyes when he was being shy. I fell in love with his beautiful green eyes, that I could stare into well over forever. I fell in love with his adorably shy personality. I simply fell in love with-
"Elle?"
I quickly wiped away the tears that had begun to escape. "Ale, I know this will be hard for you, hell it's already killing me," I said no emotion, but sadness in my voice. "but, it has to be done."
