And As Trees Bloomed, So Did Love In Us

That was the place of our first encounter, a grove that
painted our inner feelings, much more on these smiles
lit by sunshine; that was our favorite refuge when spring
gave us her wonderful gift, and dreaming we fell asleep.

Both moon and stars gleamed over us and thin clouds with their gentle
caress awoke us to pretty moonlight; and having forgotten how to get 
back home, we decided to stay and spend more time in fervent kisses.. 

Fireflies seemed fairladies ready to grant wishes, and our only wish was
to add another romantic night, but stars jealous of them asked the calm
wind to blow, and it loudly blew dispersing them in the beeches above.

That sentimental adventure not planned, but merely fantasized
became real and remembering it now with extreme, nostalgic joy:
it binds us even more to the tender memory of the eternal spring;
a spring wild and young, and as trees bloomed, so did love in us.
