"here!!" I look up to see a boy with a hibiscus flower in his hand. "here you go!" I stand up to take it "My name is Matthew, what's your name?" I look at him, his eyes were pretty "Aliza." He takes the flower from my hand and engraves it into my hair "there you go" I smile. "Thank you." He signals me to follow him "you wanna be my friend aliza?" I nod "okay my brothers are over there, that's Chris and That's Nick." He smiles at me "you all look alike" I giggle at him "we are triplets silly!" He takes my hand and guides me to the field of flowers, it was various counts of Daisies, Sunflowers and other flowers. "these are pretty" I bend over to pick them up "you're prettier" I look at him with a confused smile "no i'm not-" he nods "yes you are" He looks at me with a confused look "why don't you think you're pretty?" I shrug my shoulders and look at Amelia over there "don't let anyone tell you that you're any less, you're really pretty Aliza." He smiled at me and ever since I met Matt I felt pretty again, he always reminded me.

"Awww thank you matt!" I admire the flowers in front of me "you welcome Liza bug" he hugs me making me giggle "how did you remember? it's been years!" He looks at me "you didn't have to tell me then, I noticed your shirt and necklace when we first met. All you have to do is pay attention baby." He takes one of the flowers cutting the stem and putting it into my hair "pretty" he holds me close to his chest.

I'm walking with Chris suddenly spotting Aliza "Hey Aliza" I wave at her while smiling "hi!!" she gives me a warm smile. "do you wanna play with me and chris at recess?" She nods "can my sister play with us?" Chris smiles softly "yeah!" I giggle at him "yeah sure she can play too!"

Ever since I met Aliza that day she was always pretty to me, she always had this cute smile. Aliza had a smile that only an angel could have. She was beautiful. Almost like a hibiscus flower.

We ran in the field while giggling "tag you're it!!!" She runs from me and I catch her by her hand. She looks at me with these pretty brown eyes that shined in the sun. "Aliza you're pretty" she giggled "stop saying that!" i shrug "it's true, you're really pretty.." I smile at her as she looks down. "thank you Matt"

Reminding Aliza how pretty she was not only made my day but made her day too, seeing her smile was highlight of our school year. Being Aliza's friend made me happy.

I held Aliza's hand while she sat down on the bed and looked at her for a moment "Baby do you remember the first time we met?" She nods "4th grade and then I moved for a few years to Atlanta and came back.. yes I remember" she slightly smiled while sighing "what's wrong?" She looks up at me "it's just when I moved from this place for 1 year again, I just didn't feel right. Being in London was a crazy feeling you know?" She started playing with my hair "i know that feeling..you know?" She nodded while holding my hand "what is your favorite memory of us?" I sighed while giggling "mmmm let me think baby..."

The autumn leaves crunch beneath Matt's sneakers as he approaches the playground, the crisp air biting his cheeks. He spotted Aliza sitting on one of the swings, her dark hair bouncing with each gentle sway. "Hey! Aliza!" He called out, a grin spreads across his face. "You look like you're flying!" Aliza turned her widened as she caught sight of him. "I'm not yet I need more speed!" She kicked her legs harder, the chains creaking rhythmically. "Push me Matt!" He rushes over "Okay!" He puts his hands on her back "you ready? One...Two...Three!" He shoved her forward with a giggle "Yayyy!" Aliza squealed, the sound echoing through the air. "This is amazing Matt. I've never been this high!" Matt chuckled, pushing her higher "you're gonna touch the sky Liz!!" She looked to him while giggling "don't let go!!" She shouted while her laughter ringed like wind chimes.
"I won't" he promised, his heart pounded. The thrill of the moment made everything else fade. "You're really good at this!" She nods "thanks but wait till you see this" Aliza exclaims, she jumps off the swing suddenly and lands with practiced thud. "Whoa that was awesome, can you teach me" He stood in awe at the girl in the front of him. "Yeah only if at recess, you keep pushing me" She giggled and her smile contrasted with the blue sky.

"Holy shit Matt you remember things I don't even remember" She falls into his lap while he touches her
soft luminescence hair. "You wanna continue this conversation on the roof, the sunset is setting soon." She nods and they head to the garage.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden light over the city, Matt and Aliza sat together on the roof holding one another's hand, reminiscing about sweet moments from their childhood all the way to adulthood.

"It's crazy to think how far we've come since all of that." Aliza cornered a nostalgic smile on her lips leaning against Matt's shoulder. "Baby do you ever think about our future? Our marriage how it'll be when we get married?" Matt asked breaking the comfortable silence surrounding them. Aliza looked at him with a smile. "All the time I can't imagine my life without you in it if i'm being honest. Ever since I met you, I was showed real fondness and friendship. I wouldn't know where to be without you baby." Matt took her hand and kissed it, feeling a surge of warmth and love "i feel the same way Aliza, I can't see myself with anyone but you my love" he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. They look ahead over at the bright horizon in front of them, and gazed at the stars that were held in the distance. "The sun looks like flower" he says while looking into her eyes "like the center of a flower.." he was lost in her beauty not taking his eyes off of her.

As they sat contemplating their future, they sat there hand in hand, watching the city below them come alive in the darkness of night. The stars twinkled overhead, a reminder of the vastness of the universe and structure of possibilities that laid ahead of them.
They head back into the room, Matt felt a sense of contentment and excitement looking at the girl across from him, he knew that if they got this far they could weather any storm. And they drifted off asleep after saying sweet farewells, wrapped into one another arms. Matt knew where he was to be, with Aliza. He always wanted to be with Aliza.
