Cherry Blossoms

[FLASHBACK]

: Smileeee!!

I said as the shutter went off. Cherry Blossoms were falling one by one. This is one of the seasons we like, it's our thing...

Cherry Blossoms are our thing.

; May I see! May I see!!

She went closer stepping on the fallen leaves just to take a look at the piece of polaroid. She took a marker from her hand bag and started scribbling something on it.

: You look beautiful.

I stared at her as I whisper those words in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

; I love you.

: I love you too.

; Stay with me?

: I promise.

Sealing it off with a sweet kiss; one that I never thought would linger for a very long time.

[FLASHBACK ENDS]
————————

Sitting alone on a bench under a cherry blossom tree. I witness leaves slowly drifting away from its branch. Absentmindedly turning back my gaze on the photo I captured not long ago.

I remember the day when we took it, you were undeniably happy. I remember the time when you took it from me just to write something I never expected. I remember everything like it just happened yesterday, everything was fresh in my memory.

I smile sadly reminiscing the memory of an 'Us' that's now turned in to a past.

In it was written...

: Because behind it are a million of unspoken words, a thousand of tears, a hundred smiles, and a memory of you.

I quietly whisper reading the note you have written. Tears started to flow down my cheeks as our memories together flashes back in my mind.
