The sun blazed down spreading its rays warming up the life beneath it. The day had already started off in its normal routine, warm and stretching. The scent of spring spread through the winds like cascades of light, promising freshness and love with the new season that had arrived.

Sitting by side of the pool, she watched the three kids squealing in cool water. The fresh spring breeze tingling the tiny hair that had escaped its way out of her tight bun. The sun was too bright for her liking, even during this late afternoon. She watched the kids with pure fondness. They were enjoying their warm spring day immersed in the clear pool, splashing hands-full of the water towards their father, who was vigorously struggling to lay hands on either one of the devils to stop them. A sly chuckle escaped her lips watching the unfortunate scene unfold before her. Making everything seem so perfect.

A world that believes in perfections that don't exist. It's only an incarnation of the vivid human imaginations. Seeing perfection in imperfections. That is how it works, the world runs. That is what brings maturity to the being. Say maturity comes with experiences and experience comes with age. Thus, maturity is only an understanding of these imperfections between the lines that blur with time. That much she had understood about life.

She watched her family with pure love. Biting on her lower lip to keep her glassy eyes from spilling tears out of pure emotions. When you start loving someone, you can never really undo the feeling, only learn to disguise it well with time if needed. It takes effort to stay in love and people tend to lose the enthusiasm to stay in love, eventually. Some times they never want to leave yet they want to escape at the same time. They don't realise what they're giving up until it's too late. That's human nature in it's purest pursuit, always regretting what they've lost.

Her husband caught her eye and a bright smile reached up to his eyes. She reciprocated his smile, blushing slightly. She knew she was never going to get used to the way he always founds a way to spot her in the middle of anything that he was doing and give her a smile that always translated to how full of love and gratitude he felt towards her. It always melted her heart.
