If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda<br />
<br />
I want you to know<br />
one thing.<br />
<br />
You know how this is:<br />
if I look<br />
at the crystal moon, at the red branch<br />
of the slow autumn at my window,<br />
if I touch<br />
near the fire<br />
the impalpable ash<br />
or the wrinkled body of the log,<br />
everything carries me to you,<br />
as if everything that exists,<br />
aromas, light, metals,<br />
were little boats<br />
that sail<br />
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.<br />
<br />
Well, now,<br />
if little by little you stop loving me<br />
I shall stop loving you little by little.<br />
<br />
If suddenly<br />
you forget me<br />
do not look for me,<br />
for I shall already have forgotten you.<br />
<br />
If you think it long and mad,<br />
the wind of banners<br />
that passes through my life,<br />
and you decide<br />
to leave me at the shore<br />
of the heart where I have roots,<br />
remember<br />
that on that day,<br />
at that hour,<br />
I shall lift my arms<br />
and my roots will set off<br />
to seek another land.<br />
<br />
But<br />
if each day,<br />
each hour,<br />
you feel that you are destined for me<br />
with implacable sweetness,<br />
if each day a flower<br />
climbs up to your lips to seek me,<br />
ah my love, ah my own,<br />
in me all that fire is repeated,<br />
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,<br />
my love feeds on your love, beloved,<br />
and as long as you live it will be in your arms<br />
without leaving mine - Avg. rating:
