along the dimly-lit street, | 1 |
on both sides a stand of sakuras, | 2 |
gazillion petals opened to greet new lovers- | 3 |
Blushed were the stars, | 4 |
Who hid among soft clouds, | 5 |
Who whispered curiously, blowing sakuras, | 6 |
And made them dropped like weightless pearls, | 7 |
Onto the naked path where our shadows fell. | 8 |
Oh how beautiful, how sweet. | 9 |
It was a year ago, I thought, | 10 |
All left is a string of pearls I try to hold back. | 11 |
No more sakuras, tonight- | 12 |
