Memories On Branches

Memories on branches I dearly recall, 
                   tell the story of [our] last autumn, 
                   flowers bloomed in different hues, 
        in the shade of cherry blossom tree, I sat with you. 

             You tied a pink ribbon you got from my hair 
                in a branch, it swayed as the wind blew. 
                I felt the calm and joy that day brought, 
         while laying on your lap, singing a song so dear. 

                 Time ran so fast, snow started to fall. 
                     A frigid place, a chilling soul. 
                          And the ribbon glistened 
             like a fairy's wing under the moon shadow. 

                   The season changed, spring aglow. 
      I embraced the sun rays passing through my window. 
                    The place warmed my lonely heart. 
         Staring at the pink ribbon you tied on the branch.
