I remember that day
Sitting by the river
in your arms
The petals from the cherry blossom tree
fell into the flowing water
You made a promise that you will never let me go
Even when raindrops fall in my soul
Even when the storms stir my sea
You will never let me go
You will guide me to the rainbow
And the sweet smell after the rain
This was your petrichor petal promise
Then that day
When raindrops fell down in my soul
You left me alone...
And broke your petrichor petal promise
Now I sit by the same old river
that has the same flowing water
and the same cherry blossoms
But I was not in your arms
I then made my own
petrichor petal promises
That I won't fall so easily
Like the petals of the cherry blossom tree
I will continue to flow
Even when raindrops fall
I will guide myself to the rainbow
And the sweet smell of rain after the storm
The petrichor after the sorrow
These are my petrichor petal promises
to myself
