        Spring reminds me of you
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

He walked down streets of Suwon, the paths covered with cherry blossom trees , the sweet spring breeze bringing back memories of her . His steps heavy , eyes brimming in tears and lips curving up in a sad smile . His gaze fell to the park , he first met her .
"Ouch " a girl said . The first time he glanced at her he felt mesmerised . The brown liking so smooth and fluffy , brown doe eyes , plump pink lips as the first cherry blossom blooming out of its bud , skin as gentle as the spring breeze .
"Ah ! I am sorry . I didn't see where I was going ." The girl said as she bowed slightly .
"it's okay . I wasn't looking where I was going ."

The cold season has passed and spring has come again
We endured through this cold winter
There are so many things we have to get done
But we will overcome with the warmth of the season

He smiles at the memory as he takes heavy steps towards the cafe that still opened late night . As he enters , the bell jingles , it's sound sending a wave of bitter - sweet happiness to his heart . She used to tie her hair up using a bow which had two small bells jingling every time she walked .
"Bells bring happiness so I am spreading happiness." She used to say .

Remember that. A long time has passed
I hope yesterday's memories will help me forget tomorrow
As I move our heavy footsteps

" A strawberry milkshake ." He said smiling . Her favourite drink . He sat down at the corner of the cafe near the window from where he could see the lake . The lake where she would sit , writing or drawing as she had earphones plugged in gently humming the song .
"Myungjun-ah , you scared me ."She said clutching her heart.
"what are you writing ?" He said peeking .
"Nothing , I am just writing a letter to someone ." She said covering the note .
"ooo.. A confession letter ." He said grabbing the letter and running as she chased her .
"hey, come back . Give it back ."

As I drink in the spring night-time air
I'm comforting my heart with the spring wind
The street I walked on like a habit
Only has the scent of the painful season. She
I keep thinking about her
Only tears are falling, only tears are falling
Remember that

He giggles remembering the time they were carefree like little kids .
He walks out of the cafe taking slow steps towards the streets they used to go home hand in hand .The spring breeze making him slightly shiver .

"Wait for me Jun-ah. " the girl said jumping on him ." Piggy back ride." She shouted like a sea captain . He ducks down playfully to make her fall and quickly tightening his hold around her .
" yah!" She said as she hit him playfully.

The frozen ground has melted,
the seasons are repeating
I don't know if I still have feelings,
I don't know what this is
Just turn back time for me
I'm back to that time right now,
like going on vacation
It doesn't feel too bad but I feel sad again
The message that my heart says is,
I wanna give you my love

He rubs away the tears that fell on his rosy cheeks and grimacing at the memory . He takes his heavy steps through the flower path to enter a familiar neighbourhood . He then spots her house . The glory of the garden , the cherry blossom tree ,still blooming into pink bouquets . The door locked , the house once filled with laughter , empty .

"Jun-ah I am sorry , I won't do it again . But I have to say the shirt looks more fashionable now and your face looks like a joker ." The girl said as she ran being chased by him . The boy's white shirt having a stain of red paint and his nose had the red paint making him look truly like a joker . He pinned down the girl painting a moustache on her face . They both painted on each other giggling at their faces .

Beautiful days, the beautiful days are passing
Today's memories will make us smile tomorrow
Again today, I'm moving my feet

He let more tears fall as he remembers all this . And then he walks to the florist shop . The white roses she planted still blooming in full happiness near the personal garden of the old lady . He smiled as he heard the wind chime more like dream catcher in the window , as the breeze passed through it .
"This sound brings peace and calmness Jun. So I want people to have calmness and peace every time they come here to buy a bouquet of flowers for their dear ones . Now help me get down ."

As I drink in the spring night time air
I'm comforting my heart with the spring wind
The street I walked on like a habit
Only has the scent of the painful season. She
I keep thinking about her
Only tears are falling

" Isn't that you ? Myungjun ." The familiar old lady said as she smiled wrinkles visible near her eyes . The boy nodded giving her a smile .
" Which flowers would you like to have bouquet of ?" She asked .
" I am going to see her ." He whispered on the verge of tears again .
" So you want her favourite bouquet then . Also , she left something for you ."She said as he nodded .
The old lady arranged some white lilies , white roses and some pink tulips with some cherry blossom flowers . The smell reminded him of her . He smiled at the old lady and thanked her when she handed him the flowers .

Remember that road we used
To walk down on the way to your home
Girl, do you remember that?
Just like how flowers bloom when spring comes
I think of you whenever I walk down this road , girl

He walked through the familiar streets where they would eat Popsicles and ice cream .
"y/n-ah, you dragged me out just to eat ice-cream in this cold ." The boy said shivering as the cold breeze engulfed him .
"oh come on ! It's already Spring . Winter ended and I was craving for it ." The girl said pouting and giving him the puppy eyes he couldn't resist .
"Ah okay ." He huffed while the girl jumped in happiness . The boy smiled at her joy , his heart fluttered at her giggle .

As I drink in the spring night-time air
I'm comforting my heart with the spring wind
The street I walked on like a habit
Memories of spring come like a roll of film
I keep thinking about her
Only tears are falling

He took out the letter out of his blue hoodie . He opened the white envelope and took out the pink letter . It read -

" Jun-ah ! Sorry for not coming to you at the park that day . You probably have been waiting for me . I am sorry but if I went that day , I would have probably stopped you from achieving your dreams . Jun-ah ! I loved you , love you and will still do . When you get this letter , I won't be in this world anymore . I am sorry I didn't tell you but I was suffering from cancer and it couldn't be cured . But , I loved you Kim Myungjun . And remember I would want you to smile and achieve success .
                                     -Love , y/n

The boy's eyes filled with tears as he read the letter . He enters the cemetery holding the bouquet tight in his hands . He places the flowers on the top of a grave it read on the loving memory of a best daughter , Kim Y/N. "I love you " the boy whispered breaking down and still trying to smile remembering her words " I like people when they smile because it makes me smile and when you smile it lights up my whole world so promise me to smile forever Jun ."

Hello spring, you're still so pretty
The scent, the wind is mixing with the warmth
Everything's the same, time is colorless
But I'm still in last year's spring
Tears are falling
Thanks for the sunlight that is hugging me brightly
You're probably feeling this spring from somewhere too
Remember that








DONT KILL ME PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hope you enjoyed it (:
