While the blossoms flutter around
In the soft, gentle winds
Watching the others walking around hand in hand
I look at my own hand
The only hand that I had
The one that slumped by my body in weariness
I plaster a smile on my face
I pretend that I am not hurt
I pretend that I can walk alone
And so I walk
I walk my roads by my lonesome
I pretend that there is a person at the end
I am only deceiving myself and no one else
Yet without these lies I don't think I can survive
And so I keep walking
Alone in the midst of the blossoms
I know I make a sight
A one handed man
Walking all alone
RElying on a single stick
And looking so happy as if there were no cares in his life
They don't know
They don't know how lonely I am
I keep walking
And then I suddenly stop
For there stood an angel
A beauty draped in white
Covering her delicate frame
She smiled when she saw me
She made her way to me
My heart rejoiced
My loneliness evaporated
The people around us seemed to freeze in time
She reached out to me, and took away my stick
She supported me, and we made our way
I knew that no matter what she would be there for me
No matter the tragedy or the joy
My beautiful wife would never let me feel sorrow
We walked on
As the blossoms covered the roads we took
It seemed as if they would never end
Just like our love
A love that I have created
In my own world.
