yo quiero

Quiero hacer contigo lo que la primavera hace con los cerezos.*

I want to do with you that which the spring does with the cherry trees.


Still.

Try not to think about whether or what is your answer.

Let go like the cherry lets the petals float in the spring breeze, fluttering sunshine as they drift like angel kisses to my upturned face.
