A Certain Smile.

It was on my regular walk, when I first saw her with her beautiful red hair, flowing in the breeze. A lovely young girl, in her teens always happy to smile at me and to say hello. She was much younger then. Now when I see her, she has the look of woman and a young man holds her hand. I saw them both walking towards me the other day coming from the woods nearby. His face a little flushed and her hair still lovely, but rather ruffled. They both seemed a little self conscious when they passed by me and as she said hello, she seemed to look different, as she gave me a certain smile, something I’d not seen for a long time. Then I realised what I had seen, he was her first love, we all know the signs. I think she may have shared her passion with him for the very first time. I haven’t seen them for quite a while. They probably have other ways of spending time together now, than walks through the woods. But I think I will always remember her, with her lovely red hair and that certain smile.
