Spring in my pocket
Of all the seasons, I love spring the most. The sweet scents of blooming blossoms fill the air as butterflies and bees visit each flower in search of nectar. The weather too, is perfect- not too hot, not too cold. It's just right.
April showers come and go occasionally, bringing a refreshing feeling. It is as if the whole world is cleansed. From the big sakura trees to the tiniest of grass blades, glistened and sparkled as the sun shines through the droplets of rain water collected on petals and leaves.
You know what they all say. Spring is the season for love. And guess what, they're right. I found love last spring and it's been around ever since then.
We have chanced to meet on the courts where I've devoted almost all my life to. Somehow, we knew that we were meant for each other the moment we had eye contact. I have revealed my feelings to him, witnessed by hundreds of stars. He replied with three words, "I love you". Oh, how my heart pounded against my ribcage then!
I love the way his coldness feels warm whenever I hold him tight. Ironic isn't it? I remember asking him not to smile unless something extremely special happens. Call me weird if you must, but I think if he smiles every time we are together, it just strips away the value of his rare smiles. I'd rather preserve his smile in my memory than to let others feast their eyes upon his sweet smile.
I've been at Tokyo University for a year now and he's still in Kanagawa. Though we don't get to meet each other much, we still kept in touch. Weekly letters were sent and received. For someone who rarely talks, his letters are amazingly long. Every detail did not escape his pen. There was once where he even wrote a commentary on one of the basketball match he played in.
I've lived through summer, autumn, and winter without him, and boy, do I feel lonely. At times, I felt that the summer sun was too harsh and that the dryness of autumn gnawed at my skin. There were also winter nights that was so cold that my body froze in bed.
It was times like this I took out my wallet from my pocket [did I mention that my wallet was cold too]. In that wallet is my 'spring'- a picture of us underneath a sakura tree in full bloom. Pink petals floated down creating a scene so beautiful it was almost heavenly. No, scratch that. It was heavenly.
A glance at the picture sends my heart into a frenzy. And suddenly, the heat of the summer is cooled by his arctic eyes, the drought of autumn soothed, and the bitter coldness of winter seemed to melt away.
He told me before that he will enroll in Tokyo University as well, and I can't wait to see him again. I still carry 'spring' in my pocket wherever I go but soon, 'spring' will come to me.
