She lived longer than any of them, she carried their memories. And that was the hardest mission of all. Sakura-centric, from 1 to 100.

3. 5: The Butterfly

Five Years

I saw
A butterfly
Today,
Sitting at the end
Of a petal.

The sunlight
Shone in such
A way
That it shimmered
Like precious metal.

I reached out,
To beg it to
Stay,
But instead it flew away,
Letting the loneliness settle.

I saw
A butterfly
Today,
Sitting at the end
Of a petal.

But now that
Butterfly is gone.
