spring, to me, means the reemergence of cherry blossoms. seeing them bloom is probably my favorite part of the year. i miss driving to school in the spring, down a street that was lined with these trees from start to finish. our impossibly long driveway used to be bordered by them, too. i suppose it still is; it’s just not ours anymore. but rather than admit that, i think i’d prefer to pretend that our home faded away and into my memory as soon as we left. the thought of anyone else enjoying those cherry blossoms, that driveway, that yard, that house, makes me feel like i’ve been robbed of something precious. five years later, and i’m still bitter that i was never given the chance to say goodbye.
