Our Haven

We lie on the grass beneath our cherry blossom, our safe haven hidden within the forest by a lake where the swans glide gracefully and the winds blow gently. We whispered our secrets, dreams, and wishes under the pink shade. She sat up and looked into the depths of my soul through my eyes as she brushed a strand of hair that had fallen on my face.

She looked angelic, her auburn hair crowned with flowers, the sun in her ocean blue eyes. She smiled at me, "What are you staring at?" Her cheeks flushed with the color of the blossom.

"My life," I whispered in her ear. She smiled, her eyes twinkling with a mixture of amusement and affection. "Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you," she said softly. I did as she said, curious to know what she would do next. I felt her warmth as she leaned in closer, her breath gentle against my skin. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into a tender embrace. Her hug was warm and comforting, enveloping me in a sense of peace and belonging. She gave a light, affectionate peck on my cheek, leaving a lingering sensation of love. Then, she placed something in my hand, her touch delicate and careful.

I opened my eyes and saw a pendant, its surface gleaming in the soft sunlight. Engraved on it were the words "je suis là avec toi". That pendant was the last thing she gave me, a token of her enduring presence and love. Now, she lies beneath the tree, and I sit next to her, holding the pendant close to my heart.
