Under The Cherry Tree

You feel the cold air rushing down you slender back,

slowly and silently drifting over your body,

as if it were caressing you,

with soft hands,

the sweet smell of cherry blossoms lingers in the air,

you are alone,

the sky a dark grey,

"looks like rain" you say to yourself as you pull your knees close,

no one is around,

all is silent except the sound of the leaves rustled by the wind,

thoughts of the past trickle through your mind,

each thought slowly comes into view,

the tears build behind your soft eyes,

you can't hold them back any longer,

they flow fast and constant down your face,

memories run though your mind like a black and white film,

no sound just pictures,

pictures of the pain and sadness you have went through,

they don't stop,

all you want is to leave them,

let them go,

run away form the pain that takes hold,

gripping your heart, you want to be free,

let me help you,

let me take your sadness and pain, let me heal you,

let me take the thoughts of the past away,

lets make new memories,

memories for tomorrow,

let me sit here,

beside you,

under the cherry tree,

and here i will stay,

always by your side,

dry your tears,

no more reasons to cry,

just hold my hand and we can be forever happy,

just you and me,

under the cherry tree. . .
