Pensive as Pablo… ;( November 5th, 2006 by emzkwe
Because i feel crummy.
Because the rest of the world is drowning in cheerful Christmas songs.
Because i’ve heard the shriek and laughter of little kids.
Because seeing lovers holding hands have been giving a HUGE tug at my heart.
Because my head hurts from too much sleep.
Because my heart aches from the lack of good slumber.
Because a mosquito just bit me.
Because despite admitting that I’m just succumbing to all the melodrama… Life really isn’t just the same these days…
Because I just realized, I really AM freakin’ in love…
*********
I do not love you…
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 bloomsbut 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
that 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.
-Pablo Neruda
