Tree

She walks in the green fields in Wales with a basket in her hands She is picking jasmines flowers and singing her favorite song as loud as she can and under a big cherry tree She sits down when she needs to rest because when she tries to do too much she feels the pain in her chest She likes to be outside enjoying nature’s beauty And the smell of the lush green grass but she was born with a hole in her heart and doctors told her to live everyday as if it was her last and she is so beautiful and amazing and childishly wild and free sitting under the falling leaves of her favorite cherry tree The sun started to go down now behind the moon, it goes to hide It’s getting dark early this evening So, she’s going back inside She puts on a cotton nightdress and fell asleep right away she misses her long-distance boyfriend who loves her but lives in the USA And she had this beautiful dream she dreamt that she was having a cup of tea with him under the cool shadows Of her favorite cherry tree and she never woke up again Heaven needed her back today God only lent her to the world Now he has taken her away And all of the secrets, that she kept in her heart She would write it in her diary And every day after writing her feelings She would bury it under her favorite tree And she would send me many letters Writing about a big cherry tree And she wrote that “when I come to her And if I can’t find her, this is where she will be Although ours was a long-distance relationship She was the love of my life And we knew that one day We would become husband and wife So, when I couldn’t reach her and her letters stopped coming In my heart, I knew that something was wrong, So, I board a plane at JFK international airport And was on a flight to wales, that was 24 hours long Then I took a taxi to her home in Cardiff Outside the flowers were in bloom But inside her house All I found was a picture of me in her bedroom As I look out her window On a hill there was her favorite tree The place she writes about And said that she would be But she was nowhere to be found I couldn't find my beautiful angel Then I found her diary. She buried under the cherry tree And I stared to read of the things she didn't get to tell me Now I sit here alone under her favorite cherry tree and I am reading of the love she had for me and all that she wrote about us in her diary she was going to say yes to me and she would have come to New York When I came to meet her in wales and ask her to marry me and she carved a heart with our names on her favorite cherry tree and it reads “Kaz and S” in love forever.” and in her diary, she writes, that when I come to her if I can’t find her This is where she will always be So, I will wait here for her Under the cherry tree no matter how long it takes Because when she makes a promise to me She never let her promises breaks And though her beautiful brown eyes have close but she will always Shine her light on me And I will never leave this place again until she returns to me, under her favorite tree
