What joy would there be,
if soft blossoms did not wither?
As seasons turn-
each moment becomes more dear,
not sure when the last will fall.

Me, I'd prefer to have spring, year-round.
I search the trees ever March for the first sign of budding.
Yes it would be wonderful if the blooms (Both on people and plants)could last.

i told him i wanted an official goodbye, but
he said to him that each moment we spent was treasured and in his heart/head he would take each time to be goodbye, never expecting another time, tho he never
said it

who weeps more the branch or the blossom that
falls victim to the flight of wind? or is there no separation of lovers in their own
dreamworld?
