Winter is over
The sun radiate as the snow melts

She wears her gallosh and peak outside her window
She still feel the cold breeze outside
But she didn't mind

She opened her door and started walking in small steps
Greeted by the joyful chirping of the birds

The sky is clear and blue
The trees are budding and different flowers abloom

The bees are buzzing as they fly around their beehive
She can see the caterpillars crawling at the branches of the trees

It is fresh and lovely
She can smell the fragrance of hyacinth, easter lily, freesia, daffodil

She's tempted to pick them and savor their fragrance but she stayed there... standing
Preventing herself from making any single step towards them

Instead, she walk towards her favorite spot
A standing memory, like a piece of art

It has already flowers and they are sparkling as the sun flash its rays

Images began flashing back

The smiles, the laughs, the hugs, the kisses, the promises, and the vows

His voice, his smell, the way he touch her skin, his face that always lights up when he sees her, and his laugh
The whole place is full of him

He's August.
Her one true love
Her own definition of Spring.

They used to wait for this season together

They used to walk hand in hand,
Savoring the smell of blossoming flowers,
Feeling the airy surrounding,
Watching the blue sky, and hear the bird sings

They used to enjoy this season together
As it offers them the best sights they could ever see

She used to wait for this season to come

But it is never the same now

Like the past two years of her life,
She'll meet this season again with a grievance in her heart

For another Spring had come
And she's not be able to celebrate it again... with him

For he is long gone

And he left her alone, during the cold night winter.
