The Sakura Tree

I was walking along a pathway when I stumbled across a nostalgic tree.
I walked towards it,
then pressed my palm against its slim trunk.
I gazed up at the minuscule,
pastel-pink flowers on the hollow branches.
A bubblegum-tinted colour on the sakura flowers.
It’s been a few years since we reconciled,
a serene location with cushiony,
lime-green grass.
I remember laying a picnic mat and scattering pillows across the mat,
and then rolling and frolicking around the grass,
with a zephyr brushing against my face.
The delightful memories I have will always stay at this location.
I will never forget a detail.
