Under The Cherry Blossom Tree

To be honest this was a dream I had, I grew old in it, but it also tells a story so enjoy.
The Quote of a once living wise man.
Who had everything to lose.
He was lying on his death bed watching every grain of sand.
Realizing all the world has given him was abuse.

He had never a dime to spend,
But he had someone to hold.
And now he was getting ready to ascend,
while his lover tried to keep his hand from getting cold.

She started to clentch his chest, burrowing her face into his blossom, saying "I don' want You to go, Please stay with me my love".
With a slit grin he proclaimed "In do time my love, we will be together again, when you lay your head next to mine under the cherry blossoms."
He shut his eyes for the last time, leaving behind his love.

A dove flew to the window for a brief moment to sing.
It sung the song of many tears
She saw every tear that she had to bring,
Because finally the days of age had confronted her fears.

A month later she laid down to rest her head
With a permanent yet loving smile on her face.
Only the rain cried for her death,
But she waited like he said through the days.

There under that tree,
They were buried together and then some.
With them also lied there love still living free,
Under their cherry blossom tree.
