juyeon hyung.

juyeon-ah.

lee juyeon.

my first and last love, my spring.a

do you remember our beginning?

cherry blossoms replacing the sky's rain.

it was a blurry but vivid memory

a sleepy morning where i dozed of as i walked the streets to school.

the breeze's scent tingling my nose.

and a pretty you under the tree, waiting for a sakura petal to land your palm.

the first thing i thought was,

"pfft he tries to act cool at school, who knew he was a romantic"

you patiently waited,

waited,

and waited.

but unknowingly i, waited as well.

maybe you looked too beautiful to be touched, but 16 year old me would deny.

when a petal dropped, you cheered while punching the air.

people looked at you with judge in their eyes, but i'm sure you didn't mind.

excitingly made your way to school.

skipping your every step like a seven year old girl.

and i followed you from the back, grinning wide.

"what's he doing, this is so embarassing"

i said lowly, with a contented heart.

i would never admit how at that moment,

i fell for you.

why? it's still left unanswered.

but on whatever reason it is, i'm happy that it was you.

even if i'd be rewarded with a lifetime supply of chicken,

i would dare to give up chicken than on you.

so, please live.

go outside and enjoy the summer heat, my love.

live a life where the sky colors different.

live a life like tomorrow's ending.

live a life with glistening care.

live a life as beautiful as you are, lee juyeon.
