Cover art for Cherish lyrics by Association, The

I woke up yesterday with this song in my head. Funny... This has been happening a lot lately. Or maybe I'm just more aware...

At first I thought it was a song about unrequited love... but now I have another perspective. One cannot truly love or "cherish" another while at the same time wishing to "mould" them into someone else. True love is unconditional and free... There is no "holding" or ownership.
