Heh I wrote this in English class The cherry blossoms pile around your grave, Windswept and drowned by the quickly falling rain, And I yearn for your dear embrace. And I wish I could tell you of the love I had But the rain washes away my words. I dream of you beneath the stars, A galaxy we used to watch together, The clouds still holding a bit of the sunset’s light, And I whisper to you that I wish you were here, But the rain washes away my words. Why didn’t I say it before? Why now, When your remains are just bones and my broken heart, And the things you used to have, still dear to me. “Why won’t you return to me?” I whisper in the stillness, But the rain washes away my words. And I count the years I’ve stayed by your side, Realize you wouldn’t want me to stay this long, And I think of your eyes and the wisdom they gained, Slowly I stand to leave, but turn and say “goodbye” But the rain washes away my words.
