We met where cherry blossoms grew
The sky was soft, and so were you
You laughed like wind in April rain
And I knew I'd never be the same
We danced beneath the salted breeze
With sunburnt cheeks and sandy knees
Your hand in mine, a vinyl beat
The warmth of you, the summer heat
A year with you, the seasons flew
Each moment dyed in shades of you
From gentle spring to ocean blue
My heart has lived a year with you
We watched the amber leaves let go
The quiet streets, the fire’s glow
You held me close in café light
And whispered dreams on colder nights
Snow touched the corners of your hair
But in your eyes, the world felt fair
A cup of cocoa, frozen hands
Still melted by your warming glance
A year with you, the seasons flew
Each moment dyed in shades of you
Through winter chill and skies of June
My soul has danced a year with you
I count the days not by the time
But by your breath, your voice, your rhyme
The calendar may change its name
But I still love you just the same
A year with you, and still I find
Your every touch engraved in mine
The world spins fast, the days renew
But my heart stays in that year with you
