As the pour of winter would end, spring would finally arrive- the trees awaking from their slumber, the land filled with beautiful colors as the flower blooms with glee. The animals would come out of their homes, as they search out to find food and gather materials they need for their young ones. Within the busyness of the world, repairing it's beauty- lies a young man by the park within the middle of the town. The windy breeze would greet him gently, the shuffles of the leaves would put his soul to ease- as the gentle touch of spring would give warmth to his heart.
His name was Noah, a university student who's pursuing the studies of Agriculture- he was raised to be yet a gentle human, who is eager to understand and learn the flow and process of nature. He sees beauty- no, he sees love within every movement that the world makes. His eyes would have a soft tone of green, his hair straight and soft with a color of light chocolate. There he sat on a bench that stood next to a tall Apricot tree; as the fruits would then grow and bloom as spring arrives, in front of him would grow flowers with beautiful colors that gives emotion. He sat there with his sketchbook by his lap, as he draw the flowers that surrounds him, pointing out their parts and their names as he study each and every one of them.

As Noah would has his attention on his sketchbook suddenly his sight was covered with a pair of hands, Noah would let out a small chuckle as he was familiar of the scent and the soft texture of the skin that it was- "Emily, I know it's you." A giggle could then be heard, as the hands would be pulled away and Noah would lean his back against the bench and pull his head back to see his partner; Emily. "Hey honey-bear" Emily would state, kissing Noah's nose. Emily is a comic journalist- she's been a comic journalist ever since she graduated from high-school, and she just moved into the city to expand and practice her art-style. "Hey there sugar-bee" Noah mentioned, as Emily would then sit next to him- pushing her body closer to his as she looked at his sketches, "Those sketches are really pretty." Emily said, pointing out the sketches he has done. Noah only smiled looking at her, he would say "The only beauty I can see right now, would be you." Noah said, as he admired her short wavy blonde hair, her piercing blue eyes and her soft cheeks. Emily would blush and would cover her face to Noah's shoulder. Noah let out a small chuckle from her reaction, and continue to do his sketches.
The first time Emily met Noah, was in a flower convention- Noah was tall and thin, Emily saw him wandering around the stands where the botanists are; he was really interested in buying a house plant for himself to take care of. Emily saw him- and fell in love. From his looks, his choice in clothing, and just the aura he gives. As Noah wandered around the convention, he stumbled upon Emily- and from there, they would talk to each other, both of their hearts connecting with one another it's as if it was destiny. They've been together for only a few months yet both of them feel like they didn't really want this to end.
It wouldn't take long for Noah to close his sketchbook, and put it away into his bag. Emily was resting her head by Noah's shoulder. "How did you find me here ?" Noah asked to Emily while he pulls out his arms and rest it around her. "I knew you'd be here." Emily replied, Noah only chuckled and kissed her head gently. With Noah doing that, Emily would get closer to him, as she wanted to feel his warmth; his embrace; his protection. Noah, looking at the flowers, he would mention "These flowers has been growing and blooming ever since Spring came-by. It reminded me how I was when I first met you." Emily would look at Noah for a moment, wondering what he meant, then Noah would continue further, "When I first saw you, your smile, your laugh, and your personality- it made me bloom, it made me feel as if I'm changing into a much more beautiful form of myself." Emily would blush, and only let out a small laugh, "What did you see in me to actually make you feel that way ?" Noah would nod his head, and turning his head slightly to her so she could see his gentle smile, "I saw the sun that shines up my day, the clouds that decorate my blue sky, and the stars that lights up my night sky. My everything." Noah mentioned, Emily; knowing how cheesy the boy can be, she only blushed and looked away. Noah would chuckle and pinch her cheeks teasingly, "Poor sugar-bee, blushing so easily from my words." Noah teased- "Shut up." Emily replied, Noah ly let out a small laugh and would move his hand to her head, rubbing it gently. Emily would feel comfort, and would let out a smile from what he's doing.
"I don't want this feeling to ever end." Emily stated, Noah would then turn his head to look at her, raising a brow, Emily would let out a sigh. "I love you so much Noah, please don't ever leave me." Emily mentioned, slowly she would pull out her arms and hold Noah close to her. Noah look at what she's doing and only smiled, "Hey. It's okay. I won't be going anywhere." Emily would only tighten her embrace, and Noah looked at her. "Emily, what's wrong ?.." Noah asked. Emily has her face buried onto his chest, not saying anything. Then, Noah realized. Emily has been treated poorly from her family, and from the people that she had a crush with in the past, Noah knew that she's scared. So Noah only calmed her, rubbing her back, "Emily, did you know that people don't really say goodbye ?-" Noah said, Emily would pull her face away to look at him.
"It's too often we get afraid of endings, that's why we don't allow ourselves a goodbye."
"Goodbyes, are temporary. Because- well- no one really leaves, and nothing lasts forever."
"And if you can remember those two things that- people are always with us because of our hearts and memories, and- well- they won't go away."
Emily would have her eyes turning teary- and Noah would look at them, Noah gave her a small smile "So no matter where I am, I'll always be here with you- right- here." He said, as he gestured his palm to lay on her chest. He'd then kiss her forehead gently, and chuckle "Besides, what would I be without my sweet sugar-bee ?" Emily would let out a small chuckle, as she wiped away her tears and hugged him, and there Emily would then feel the gentle touch of spring through him.
"Thanks Noah, I love you."
- "I love you too Emily."
