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
