Do you remember that hill? Cherry blossoms made a tunnel of pink Your sleeve brushed mine just a little And my heart raced from just that Petals danced in the spring breeze As if time itself had frozen still Your smile glowed so bright that day Blending with the season’s thrill The cherry trees have bloomed again, right where we once stood But you’re not here with me—that’s the ache of spring You chased your dreams ahead, your back now far away But maybe someday, we’ll walk this road again, and smile the same By the corner store, with a shy little voice You said “see you” at that parting path I acted tough, but deep inside I never wanted you to go Crumpled paper in my pocket Only your handwriting remains Unspoken words I couldn’t erase Bloom with spring in petal rains Each time the blossoms fall, memories come back anew The seasons we once shared now dance upon the breeze I think it wasn’t a promise—more like a quiet wish I’ll never forget the springtime road We once walked, just us two I know you won’t hear these words—I do But the spring you were in won’t ever fade from view When the cherry trees bloom, I know I’ll remember again The smile you wore that day, the time we missed somehow We walk beneath different skies, in separate worlds now But thank you—for the miracle That we met beneath the cherry bough
