I remember さくら (#SakuraOfWishes)

[instrumental intro - catchy 80’s synth riff and beat] [Verse 1] I remember that day, petals in the breeze, You and him together, laughing with such ease. You asked me for a picture, I clicked with a sigh, Envy in my chest, no one by my side. [Pre-Chorus] The blossoms fell so slow, like time stood still that day, I walked off alone, with nothing to say. [Chorus] さくら , pink and bright, Bitter memories in my mind… さくら , fates entwined I wish you were mine. [Verse 2] Next spring came around, the blossoms bloomed anew, I saw you by the trees, but she wasn’t with you. I asked to take your picture, you paused and stared, “Don’t I know you from somewhere?” [Pre-Chorus] I smiled and said, “Last year, I caught your grin,” A spark was born where petals begin… [Chorus] さくら , pink and bright, Bitter memories in my mind… さくら , fates entwined Can it be that you’re now mine? Step by step, we walked through blooms so fair, Your hand in mine, a love beyond compare. From a stranger’s lens to a heart’s embrace, さくら brought us to this tender place. [instrumental] [Bridge] For many Springs we stayed Until illness took you away For years I could not look No matter how beautiful the bloom Then one Spring near the autumn of my life I decided to view the blossoms one more time… [Chorus] さくら , pink and bright, Bitter memories in my mind… さくら , pain and strife unwind… Will I see you at the end of time? [instrumental] [Outro] I remember, where it all began, A camera, a glance, and a gentle plan. A couple asks me to snap their joy “Of course,” I said, please enjoy…
