She is my muse, my love, my everything.

I watched as she suddenly turned and grinned my way. I was a little taken aback by this, and she giggled over my confusion before going back to her book. Shaking my head, I pushed up my glasses and looked over my watercolor piece.

Her hair was like an eternally flowing river beset with vibrant colors and reflections of the night sky. Her eyes were sparkling with a sapphire blue; oh, how easy it was to sink into those azure depths forevermore! Her lips-

“Ana, are you drawing me again?”

I looked up to see her hover over my sketchpad with interest. She laughed as her mischievous eyes surveyed me. “Don’t you have anything more interesting to draw?”

“No, I don’t,” I replied quietly, shyly trying to cover up my little painting. “Please don’t look, it’s not finish-“

“Hey babe.” I heard his voice from behind me, and something in me broke a little. I heard her squeal in excitement and get up to meet him. I pushed up my glasses and sighed.

“Hey cutie.” I could almost see them kiss. I gripped my sketchpad tightly. “Ready to go?”

A bright “Yes!” was her response, and she laid a hand on my shoulder. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Ana, all right? I’d like to see your pictures then!”

She kissed me on the cheek, and left with a flutter. Their shared laughter rang in my ears as I touched the spot she laid her lips on. I smiled.

Oh my muse, my love, my everything.
