" I do not love you as if you were salt-rose or topaz, or the arrow of
carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain things are to be
loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the
plant that never blooms, but carries in itself the light of hidden
flowers. Thanks to your love a certain fragrance, risen darkly from the
earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when,
or from where, I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or
pride, so I love you because I know no other way than this: where "I"
does not exist, nor "you," So close that your hand on my chest is my
hand, So close that your eyes close and I fall asleep. -Pablo Neruda"




I love this and thought I would share .

Correction to the above ...


I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.



Im glad you guys liked it too . :heart:
