This feeling of warmth soothes me,
Every time I pass by this tree,
Memories of joy fills me,
Your kind smile ensures me that we will be together.
The air was soothing with nostalgia,
How did I miss this feeling of joy?
That feeling of calmness, being with you
Your spirit shatters the void that surrounds us.
You fell gracefully from heaven
Lending me your hand like an angel
Your presence grants me peace
The one that I truly loved
I wish I could turn back time
The mistakes that I anguish
The choices that I regretted
It was I who drove us apart
Though you’re always beside me,
I tarnished those moments
No smiles, only sadness, I convey to you
It seems you’ve grown weary of my antics
I wish I could fix it
I hoped that I could help you too
I regretted my choices
but sadly, I’m only human
Now I stand by the tree
That brings me joy and dread
Standing here, reminiscing about the past
Wishing it were but a dream
But I’ve learned to let it go
And move on from the past.
To forge a better future
From the gleaming past that haunts me
I hope you are happy wherever you are
Because I’m grateful for those moments
