I Stumble Upon a Cherry Blossom Tree

I stumble upon a cherry blossom tree

I sat beneath its casting shadows

and stare at its bright carnation pink flowers

It seems like its dancing with the serene breeze

and as if the sun is twinkling like million stars

through its wriggling branches and stems

It was the peak of Spring

and everyone's got company

for the flower viewing ceremony

But I am alone, writing this poem

It didn't bother me anyway

Although I have always had this fantasy

of someone sitting with me with his eyes like the color of the soil

watching me as I write

and smiling like a prince would do

With his wide shoulders partly covering the sun's rays

escaping from the flowers and leaves

Like I knew I can always rely on

But that's just a delusion

That was carved in my mind a long time ago

that would never happen even in my wildest dreams

Until I've sense a pair of eyes looking straight at me,

Making me feel like a melting butter

and I looked up to check on it

I saw a smile from a tall man asking,

"Can I sit with you?"
