Tears
Snowy SpringA snowy spring. I looked up to see the sky. The snow fell ever so lightly, glistening beautifully in the sunlight. The wind blew slightly, and I caught something blowing in the corner of my right eye. I turned to see a girl with long brown hair staring at me. I couldn't see her face properly because the sun was in my eyes. Just as my eyes got used to the brightness, I woke up. The alarm clock rang loudly in the quiet.
