and I in this lines say: November 3rd, 2009
[...]Like this I want you, love,
love, Like this I love you,
as you dress
and how your hair lifts up
and how your mouth smiles,
light as the water
of the spring upon the pure stones,
Like this I love you, beloved.
To bread I do not ask to teach me
but only not to lack during every day of life.
I don’t know anything about light, from where
it comes nor where it goes,
I only want the light to light up,
I do not ask to the night
explanations,
I wait for it and it envelops me,
And so you, bread and light
And shadow are.
You came to my life
with what you were bringing,
made of light and bread and shadow I expected you,
and Like this I need you,
Like this I love you [...]
*Pablo Neruda – Because Love Battles
I’ve had this lines in my head for a very long time now.
I was willing to say them to you on our wedding day but I never got the chance.
So, I’m writing them now, here, with all my love.
(yes, I know this words have been written to a woman, but despite of the “your hair lifts up”
I think they still fit perfectly to be dedicated to a man)
