Cherry Blossom

Oh, look, the cherry blossoms bloom The time anew has come The flowers shine all around me A sign of hope and peace I have drowned in the waters of the night It seemed like the sun had stopped giving off light How many times have I imagined you, with me Standing under the cherry blossom trees? And now, You're gone, Away from me, And I, Will forget you, You're but a memory I saw the flowers bloom, One by one they took the room Oh, Cherry-colored trees, I don't want you to forget me, But it's the time I let you be Now, Watch the flowers bloom One by one So enchanted I forgot the memories I've had with you Now I'm done With all your lies The cherry blossoms What a delight I sat under the night sky Watching the stars, Watching them sparkle in the darkness Of the moonlight Maybe what I felt with you was but a spark The actions that could have never Correlated with your talk I've watched the river Glitter in the moonlight Carrying my tears To the emptiness Of the deep soil, To feed The cherry blossom trees. I'm sad, but I'm free Watching you with her It feels like something out of TV The tears I cried over you, At least they fed my tree, but, I'm still crying over our melody Cherry Blossom, My hope and its redemption I'm not over you, But I know, When I do, You will watch the brightest flower bloom It will take time, One by one, But once it's done, You will see a person anew You'll ask who they are, And people will tell you, She's the brightest cherry blossom Who forgot you
