The Rose garden
It was Twilight.A bottle of JD in my hands, I was drunk,
Walking aimlessly on an empty road with big Sakura blossoms on both sides greeting me.
A carpet of soft baby pink flowers,
So, I Took off my shoes, felt the asphalt cold,It was about to rain, i could tell;
It was windy and beautiful.
And the orange setting sun gave my mood a nostalgic effect;And with it I walked and walked -
I didnot realise i was at your place.
This time of the year, you had a garden filled with roses.

I remember we used to play here, in our childhood days;We had picnics here when we were teens;And i remember my sleepovers at your place and the garden was our favourite, when we were in love in our early twenties.

Now, i stand here alone on this side of the road, the wind gave me a snif of your magestic roses, and i decided to sit and admire them, only to regret it in a few seconds as you came out with another girl, holding hands, a familiar laugh that i have seen for 2 decades.
I quickly stood up and ran, remembering;
What I had promised.
To never let him see me again.
