Weed or Flower? My Dandelion Poem

I have been exploring creative writing and this usually happens in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning. Read and enjoy. Feel free to leave comments. What is the meaning that you get out of this poem?

I survived winter hiding underneath a white blanket.
It was a dark, long and lonely retreat.
Spring felt empathy for me and sent you to melt that blanket.
Your lips breathed life back into me.
Your love penetrated deep into my roots.
My heart blossomed with each passing day that I spent beside you.
"Stretch and grow my dear" you said
"Don't be afraid to reach for the stars and fly to the moon."
"How Absurd," I replied.
"Flowers must stay rooted and tied down."
"Who told you that you can't fly and leave your mark?" .
"Don't be afraid to let yourself get carried away."
Dandelion.
