a love to remember

beneath cherry blossoms soft and bright they wandered Tokyo, hearts so light their very first trip, hand in hand through lantern-lit streets, oh, so grand

the city whispered, lights aglow yet he had a plan she didn’t know by the gardens where petals fell he knelt down, a tale to tell

her gasp, her smile, the world stood still as he asked with love so real a ring that sparkled, a heart so true she whispered softly, “I do, I do.”

from Kyoto’s shrines to seaside air their love grew deeper everywhere a journey that began so sweet turned into fate, forever to keep

now every blossom, every breeze carries the memory of love with ease Japan, their start, their dream so new a trip that made one heart from two
