Coast to coast: You are the one I love the most

Born from peach groves,
I learn a love only we know.
In graveyards of blackberries and plums,
we dream what we could become.
Dancing in larches and pines
A love divine.

Beneath the seagull song,
The hope to belong,
I am choosing to be
A changed version of me.
