Silence of the snow by Emma Herrell part 1

Outside it was snowing. Shizuko sat and watched as the beautiful fluffiness filled her yard. She wished he was here to see it with her. He'd always reminded her of the snow. A single tear rolled down her cheek. She brushed it away. The swing outside stil hung like a shadow upon the ever-drifting white. The very place they'd met. She knew thinking about it wasn't good, and tried to place the thought away. Her childish blonde hair hung into her eyes. She looked back down at her sketchbook. The elegant strokes of her pencil looked as if she'd really cared about what she was doing. She turned the page and picked up her pencil again. The image had returned at last, and she immeadiately scribbled down a base. The image of a boy smoothing a girl's hair as she lay weeping, her head in his lap. She remembered the gentle sweetness of his words as he whispered softly to her. She saw the tenderness in his vibrant blue eyes as he wiped the same tears from her eyes. Pulling out a box of pastels, she began to add the tender details to his clothing and face. Oh, how she wished she'd known. His pale skin and dark hair must've been what reminded her of winter. Or maybe his name. A tear from her cheek landed on the paper."Oh..." She cried. "My dear Reiyuki, Why?! You said you'd never leave me!" His smile was still present in her mind, the smell of his clothes still fresh as if he were standing right next to her. She finally added a small inscription to the bottom of the page, reading: "Reiyuki, My dearest, I'll always love you, As You always loved me..."


DID IT WORK ?
