I remember when I first met you.
It was a rainy school day, and the lack of sleep and the immense stress was getting to me. I was standing slumped, and my eyes threatened to close at any time. The world was black and white, and nothing really seemed particularly worth living for. Then you came and brought along all the colours with you. My life was a boring painting with black squiggles over white canvas, and you were a kaleidoscope of colours and as you walked, my world was painted. The cherry blossoms cascading down as you took those patterned footsteps, like the steady beat of the song of life itself. As the princess took her steps, the flowers and birds around her grew and flourished, and the monotony of life is drowned out by the mellifluous animal calls. She poised herself and a butterfly sat on her finger, and squirrels and foxes paved the path. As you walked past me that August, bringing along the melodious symphonies of life and beauty - the world was beginning to see colour again.
"Spring will be here soon. Spring, the season I met you, is coming."
