Cherry Blossoms
I tried going against what my soul said,
I tried going against my intuition,
In the end,
I ended up somewhere I wasn’t meant to be,
It haunted me all throughout the never ending night,
The sky became so dark, I saw myself and reached out for her-
As I got closer, I saw stars written all over her face,
She whispered to me,
“You never know when or where”
In that moment,
I instantaneously saw a light that filled every inch of my soul
I felt courage coarse through my heart
I grabbed her-
A handful of memories flashed right before my eyes
I knew I had to let go
I moved beyond past the memories
And found,
You.
