Chapter 3 - Love sooner XVII

I do not love you as if you were the saltrose,topaz or an arrow of carnations that propagate fire

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you like the plant that does not bloom but carries within itself hidden the light of those flowers.

I love without knowing how or when or from where

I love you directly without problems or pride

I love you like this because I dont know of any other way to love

except in this form in which I am not nor are you

so close that your that your hand upon my chest is mine

so close that your eyes close with my dreams

-Pablo Neruda
