Sakura

Look at me
I never knew where I needed to go
'till it was you I got to know
never felt the glow of
Sakura, Sakura

It was never a question at all
never a question of if I will fall
but when I will fall, and how
when was just a moment before now
how was right into your world
and how I love your world

April in Tokyo
the best time I've ever known
there are few words for spring in Japan
few things to compare, except holding your hand
that's the number one thing
in this sapphire blue spring

My eyes go wide with wonder
as we walk hand in hand under
Sakura, Sakura
So beautiful

Outside this embrace
the street is playing its rainy day music
inside this embrace
my bones are warmed by your heart's music
pressed to my face
how I love your music

One pretty, imperfect spring day
perfection nonchalantly comes my way
sweet serenity and feline feminity
wrapped up in a bundle pretty as dawnlit dew
I'd like to be wrapped up in you

You're my cherry blossom
into my hands you're softly fallen
you're my Sputnik sweetheart
orbiting around my heart
say you'll stay, forever and a day

Oh wow
never knew such sweet love existed
'till you came and took away my resistance
with a kiss as soft as
Sakura, Sakura

Smiling at this, remembering the Cherry Blossom Festival, as celebrated at Sakura Square, with taiko drums, dancing, good food and friendship....sweet memories!

Midnitesun, you mean the festival at Sakura Square here in Denver? Yep, I've been there a couple of times myself. I was thinking a little of that, and alot of Japan. I was also aiming to write something a little more straightforward, for once.
Thanks.
