The fragile petals of the cherry blossom flower covered the road. It covered confusion, lost hope and mixed feelings. They desperately wanted it to cover every inch of their problems. The cherry blossom tree above them said a lot of things.

Firstly, this beautiful tall tree started from a seed. But the seed grew into a small plant, and then a taller plant , and finally to a stoic tree as it is today.

Just like their feelings.

It was something like their story.

They stood in front of each other , none of them saying a thing. An awkward silence was bestowed upon them , the wind blowing lightly – pushing , pulling these fragile petals all over the vast area.

He continues to stare at the petal covered road as he could hear her sniffing softly.

What happened?

They’ve come this far. This journey can’t end.

It hasn’t even started yet.

She asked herself uncountable times about this. Is it real? Or is her mind making things up as this comes along?

Does she want and need it?

She doesn’t want to live a life with no excitement, no risks , not taking chances.

She is willing to do whatever it takes to make her feel whole again.

To feel loved.

As tears form in her eyes, her vision becomes blurry as she looks at his face.She quickly turns around, wanting the ground to swallow her up and her misery up and she started to walk fast.

But something stopped her and pulled her back.

His hand was on her arm , and they looked into each other’s eyes.

And they felt it.

This is what they wanted.

He pulled her into his strong arms , to comfort her , and hold her in he’s warm embrace.

And he whispered into her ear softly ,” I’m sorry I’ve made you wait for so long.”

“ It’s worth the wait.”

Lots of Love,

Ab
