Breaking the shackles of winter and celebrating Spring's renewal is a great time to let your mind roam and dream about that special friend of yours. This is very well written.

love how you open the piece, the hothouse in winter stealing the scent away which then falls to the arrival of spring. driving w/the top down, pitchers of bellinis - the sterility of winter gone to the sensory overload of spring

It is an-going pleasure getting to know you through your poems, but you already knew that....
