Petrichor Petal Promises

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
