I stood on the gravel pathway,

feeling the wind gently kiss my face, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms

mingling with the air.

My hands went up to my mouth, covering my gasp,

as I saw him kneel down on one knee,

a velvet box in his hands.

A gentle smile adorned his face,

as he looked up,

gazing with a loving look that I knew all too well.

Tears ran down my face.

I couldn’t believe what was happening.

My breath stopped,

my heart beating rapidly against my chest.

Today, the person I had loved for seven years,

was finally proposing-

to another woman in front of me.
