Is This Love?
There she stood, her teenage hands held the handlebars of her bike while she sat on her bike seat, one leg stood on the ground to keep her up while her other leg rested on the petal of her bike.

Her eyes held a soft and gentle gaze as she watched the mama duck and her duckling cross the trail she was riding through.

It was so easy to tell that she adored the little ducklings just as much as she cared for them too.

This sparked something inside me.

A backpack rested on her shoulders and back. Her little furry friend, a brown Cairn terrier dog, rested his small from paws on her shoulder so that he too may watch the ducklings cross the trail while he stayed in her backpack.

Her medium dark brown hair flew in the breeze slightly but out of her dog's face, which I should say his name was Prince.

There is something about her. Maybe it was her style? The way she wore her white t-shirt, dark green shorts, and white sneakers?

I don't know.

Perhaps it was the way the bright orange sun shone down through the trees, the streams of light dancing on her beautiful, tanned skin. I still couldn't place it. What was this feeling?

Ah, I know! It must be the birds singing while the whisperings of the old trees that travel through the forest.

That's not it either. A beautiful sunny summer day through the trails of the forest and I still couldn't figure this feeling out. She turned to look back at me with her forest green eyes that held love for me and a smile crept up on her face.

Her smile was so pure. Many have told me she has a crush on me but I always thought they were joking. But the way she smiled back at me made my heart flutter like a butterfly.

Was it possible that what I was feeling was love? Love for her? Thinking about it made my cheeks pink. Then she giggled at my soft pink face and the way she smiled, the way her eyes lit up, the way she gave off such a pure energetic vibes, everything about her was just so..

What was the right word?

Loveable.

Loveable was the right word to describe her. Maybe what I feel is love? It's the only explanation. Everything racing through my mind felt like minuets because just the way she looked at me with that glimmer of light in her eyes, it felt like forever.

I didn't want it to end. All I could do was smile back at her with love in return. I fell in love with her and I think she knew it too.

But perhaps it was only a dream because I never knew her name.
