pink tree
while on a walk back to my friend's flat
my eyes saw a tree
dotted with vibrant flowers of pink
my eyes sparkled
"i want to see that tree" i gasped
they looked at each other
they shared the same face
blank and bored
one said,
"let's go back to my place"
i really wanted to see the tree
"it's just over there, i can jog quickly"
i joked
jokes are half meant
"would you come with me?"
"go see it alone" they said
we continued our walk
i've already mentally marked that road
'one day i'll come here
to see that pink tree.'
then, my eyes caught a glimpse of pale pink
on the side of the road ahead
"i see another pink tree! right there do you see?"
they looked and they nod
probably thinking "oh god"
"will we walk past it?" i asked
if we do, surely i can take a picture or two
"no" they said flat
"we're walking this way"
i followed.
i didn't mean to look glum
i didn't mean to show it
my friend comes and says
"look, you'll see more pink trees
more worthy your time later on"
we continued our walk
i've already mentally marked that road
'one day i'll come here
to see that pink tree'
