The forest was beautiful

It was worthy all the admiration

The new boy was walking beside Melanie

They reached the deeper parts of the forest

The afternoon sun was mild

It sipped through the trees

It created a divine light

The divine light shone on the boy

Right on his eyes but he didn't really bother

They were brown

Brown as dark syrup

As dark as the syrup in Mommy's bottles

The boy started running

He ran towards a log

He jumped up and sat on it

His legs were swaying in the air

"You like climbing?" Melanie asked

He smiled and giggled

"I like climbing," he answered

Melanie smiled back

They both knew she couldn't climb up

Her dress would get ripped and dirty

Instead she stood down below him

It went silent

"What's your name?" he asked

"Crybaby"

"No"

He jumped down from the big log

"What's your name?"

She looked up at him

He was being serious

"Melanie"

Melanie sighed and looked down

"I like your name, Melanie. Sounds bittersweet."

"What's your name, then?"

"Tyler. My name is Tyler."

His name was beautiful

"Tyler," she said

It sounded more divine than the forest
