Garden of Memories, by Daniella Orhin

I can’t forget you,

Nor can I abandon my thoughts of you,

Because in my garden of memories,

You’re still the tallest tree among the many.

Even when I try to cut down the branches

Of our shared laughs and smiles,

They grow back faster than ever,

and memories I consider dead come back to life.
