I know this is about romantic love, but in addition to that it made me think about feeding my little girls who devour fruit and how much love is shared in the act of peeling, slicing, seeding or whatever when I prepare their snacks. It can indeed feel ritualistic and devotional.

This is so beautiful and majestic! But I couldn't help but notice that you wrote the Spanish phrase wrong, just to you know, the phrase in Spanish is written like this: "mi media naranja"
