Learning To Love Myself

Pink Leaves

It was 3:30 pm in the afternoon.

I wore a kimono I kept 

for 8 years.

I saw it lying around at my old house 

in the living room.

It looked really pretty,

so I kept it. 

I added a cherry blossom flower 

behind my right ear.

I tied my hair up in a cute bun

and pierced something through it.

I forgot what they were called.

I just bought it at a store a few months ago, 

thought it was cute.

I also bought a Chinese style umbrella,

the wooden ones.

I then wore sandals under my

long kimono dress

and a picnic basket for me and Luke.

It was hard to go downstairs 

because of my long dress.

I then met Luke at Creek Side Park.

As I got there,

I saw the beautiful cherry blossom trees.

Pink leaves,

big trunks, 

and a beautiful atmosphere. 

Peaceful music filled the park, 

making me close my eyes, 

savoring this moment.

In the distance was Luke, 

staring at me, 

with open eyes. 

When he approached, 

he was speechless.

“You look 

Amazing.”

I blushed.
