Entry 52: A short love story

Rose was sad and alone, and to lessen her pain she used to spend her time in a large lake of clear water placed in the middle of the forest.
Shining like the sun Rose walked on bare foots over the wet grass, she walked across the forest dreaming with love. Before getting into the lake, she observed the reflection of her face into the water. Her golden hair was waving with the breeze and her green eyes seemed to be two emeralds shining in her face.
Once in the lake, while she was dancing with the water Rose heard a noise that came among the trees and she felt as if someone would have been watching her, but she couldn`t see anything.
After a while something unbelievable happened, just in front of her standing in the grass there was a young man, but not a common one, he was the man with whom she had always dreamed of. Such was her scare that she sunk into the deepest of the lake, fighting to reach the surface she was drowning. In despair the athletic brunette jumped into the lake and swimming as fast as the beating of his heart, he could rescue her.
He took her of the water and let her laying unconscious on the grass, she was as beautiful as ever, her charmed touched his heart making him fall immediately in love of her and moved by a strong impulse he kissed her. In the very moment that his lips touched hers, Rose opened her eyes and looked his eyes, and the same impulse made her embrace him tight. Then he hold her in his arms and took her to a little cottage where he lived in isolation.
He set the fire and they sat together in front of it, silence was broken by an “I love you” that they told each other simultaneously, a kiss was enough to turn on the fire in their hearts. That was the end of their lives in loneliness.
Time passed and one day while they were running in the forest playing to chaise one another a short painful scream was heard and Rose fell down, her lover found her lying death because a poison snake had bitten her ankle.
In that moment his heart and soul died too and with the same strong impulse that he had kissed her for the first time, he took the snake and made it to bite him, he died out of love.
Since then their spirits live in the forest, it is said that they are seen running in the forest or swimming in the lake.
