Under the Cherry tree

Folder: 
In Memoriam

Yesterday, I went to our spot
The cherry tree, the one hidden in that clearing
We would sit under it for hours, talking, singing, and just resting together.
It was our own little place, nobody else knew about it...
There, the troubles of the world just melted away

It was the place where we first kissed, your cute cheeks turning bright red
It was there where we proclaimed our love, and that we would be together forever
Even before we began dating, we would always meet there...
But, I knew you wouldn't be joining me this time, She now has your heart, and you love me no longer
We would never be with each other again, Our tree was crying pink leaves.

The carving with our initials encased by a heart was still in the bark
The patch of flowers we planted together was still there
Everything was just as how we left it a month ago

The wind was picking up, the speed of it was making my eyes water, or was it something else...?
The sun had finally set, so I left the clearing, for the first time ever, alone
and made my way back to my house built for two

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I miss you, girl...You were one of the best gals I've ever met, and you had to go and do this. I must say, I'm rather disappointed...

Wow, I nearly broke into

Wow, I nearly broke into tears reading this. Still, any man who leaves a woman with this type of depth in her heart, this range of emotion, and one who can write so vivid and beautiful is a fool not worth chasing.

Thank you!  Now that I am

Thank you!  Now that I am broken of the spell of love, I can see that he was never all that great to begin with.

Hopefully, when it clicks and sticks, it will be until death.  I just wrote a poem about a favorite park bench - it became ours ~~A~~
