Learning To Love Myself

Cherry Blossom

For a few days, 

Luke took care of me.

Wiped me with towels, 

fed me, 

tucked me in, 

and even told me stories. 

I feel so safe with him. 

Because of him I feel a lot better now.

I then went outside to buy some food for myself. 

I saw a flier by a pole,

“Cherry Blossom Festival,

Creek Side Park, 

4:00-8:00 pm.” 

My eyes widened.

Should I go?

I always loved cherry blossom. 

I grew one at my old home 

when I was little in my backyard.

I didn’t want to go alone so I guess I can’t go. 

I then went to the store.

I saw Luke. 

I rushed to him 

and he saw me.

We talked for a while, 

but stopped when he saw the 

Cherry Blossom Festival flier.

“You going?” 

He asked, pointing at the flier.

“I want to, 

but I don’t know who to take with me.”

“Duh, me.” 

“You sure you’re not busy?”

“I’d be happy to join you.” 

“Ok then.”
