Diverse hues of pink
Blooming with pride
A petal fell on his palm
Lightness dawned on him
Memories rushing in
When love got a name
The breeze on her hair
Love drifted towards her
Like flowers gliding in the air
Walking away from him
Hoping to meet again
At the crossroad
But love faded away
Like flowers withering away
The void she had left
Dwelling in him for so long
Too subtle to be identified
Yet too deep to haunt
Smiling from within
He ran towards the crossroad
Where cherry blossoms bloomed
Glanced at the flowers
Scattered across the path
He sat on the bench
A flower fell on his palm
This time he held it tight
Never wanting to let it go.
