WARNING: Love story/ short story. I just had to write one, to see if I could or not :) .
A deer may glide over bushes and loam of a forest, curving and hopping and flying silently; gracefully through the lucid air. Butterflies glitter their wings in the light, as shafts of bright arrows stab the ground softly, gently, like a rock dropped onto the plush sheet of a bed. That's what I feel when I see her.
I saw her on the cart, first, the most beautiful star that could have fallen from the heavens to land radiantly by my side. Why was she there? It seemed too demeaning of a princess, of a queen, to ride this lowly laborer's cart. I tried to make small talk. She turned towards me, her hair landing around her shoulders perfectly like the meticulous placement of a rook by a master chessman. And I could say nothing but checkmate. At least, I hoped. Her voice was like a new morning, of the sun rising above the drab peaks of the snowy mountains. Everyone around her were the drab peaks. She was the rising sun. And right now, I hoped the sun wouldn't set.
As she talked, she saw me with her beautiful brown eyes, matching almost coincidentally with her brownish-red hair. How perfect. Her eyes; have you ever stared at a diamond in the sun, up close? I have. And I had hardly a penny to my name. This was like being in the treasury of the kingdom.
I made her laugh. I loved that laugh, such a sweet one that rang like a bell. And she smiled, a sunset smile, the smile that a deep woods pond does as a rainbow trout skims near it's surface, and the light of the moon makes it shine like a fantasy.
So much more to describe. I loved her from the start. But I had to leave, it was my stop, where I worked and toiled as I should in manual labor, but I would imagine it was for her. And when my friends asked who I liked during scant breaks while we gossiped, I told them, proudly.

But one bright shining day it was darker than night. I went to work, and she was there. I was overjoyed--she was waiting for me, perhaps. She was there with her boyfriend, my best friend. I smiled, a false, lying smile like a cobra, as they told the news. I looked at her, still beautiful. How could she be with someone like him? It did not add up, how did they know each other? He was, perhaps, the worst worker of our group, he was lazy and would slack off for a whole day--if possible. Granted, he had an intelligence that, if days were minutes, it would sprout like a Morning Glory and be gone by noon. Perhaps he was handsome, but that could only last surface level, and you would strike fool's gold once the pick broke the crust. And yet that did not hide the fact that remained.
It was mystery, a dark, gory mystery I wanted to know, and was scared to know. I have never read a mystery book, but I think I now had a feeling of how the characters must feel, when a person they loved had died horribly, and the killer was unknown.
What was I to do? Nothing. I let this happen, I became friends with them both. And I wasn't envious, I just toiled away the days like normal, and I still spoke to her and him. And yet, this mystery, this tragedy, still lingers. How did this happen? Two and two don't fit this time, like opposite pieces of a puzzle. But life had jammed them into place. At the expense that my puzzle could not be complete, because those pieces belonged somewhere else. But what could I do? I just toiled away, until the setting sun and beyond.
The End

The first paragraph seemed a bit incomprehensible to me: like you were trying too hard to make it all peaceful and artsy. That's my only true complaint.
The rest was well-written even if I don't approve of admiring-the-lady-from-a-distance and the she's-so-breathtaking-I-can-hardly-take-it types of romance. I don't know if I would call it a "nice" story. I'd call it a depressing yet moving story.
Also, I really liked the puzzle metaphor. ^_^

Nice you write well but it needs to flow more. Like a river~~~~~~~~Ok it does flow, but you need to open everything up. Describe the boyfriend more.

wait wtf this is the end? NO DO SOME MORE!

Sir Oswyn, I liked your idea about character development so much, I added a little char. dev. to the 'boyfriend'. But I'm sorry, I won't be adding more because I love the ending already, but also because I was planning on writing a short story. Oh well, my other story "An Epic: The Archemed" is going to be full length, but it isn't yet finished. :)
