We Share One Apple and Innumerable Dreams

At some point you and I became we,
my hopes became yours to share.
When did I realize we would become one?
Was it that spring, when the trees were pink with apple
blossoms and songbirds darted among the reeds and 
we walked by the river speaking innumerable
sentences and you held my hand and told me your dreams?

I like it, Nicole. Made me flashback as I am sure it will many.
