Pablo Neruda famous quote #470

If You Forget MeI want you to knowone thing.You know how this isif I lookat the crystal moon at the red branchof the slow autumn at my windowif I touchnear the firethe impalpable ashor the wrinkled body of the logeverything carries me to youas if everything that existsaromas light metalswere little boatsthat sailtoward those isles of yours that wait for me.Well nowif little by little you stop loving meI shall stop loving you little by little.If suddenlyyou forget medo not look for mefor I shall already have forgotten you.If you think it long and madthe wind of bannersthat passes through my lifeand you decideto leave me at the shoreof the heart where I have rootsrememberthat on that dayat that hourI shall lift my armsand my roots will set offto seek another land.Butif each dayeach houryou feel that you are destined for mewith implacable sweetnessif each day a flowerclimbs up to your lips to seek meah my love ah my ownin me all that fire is repeatedin me nothing is extinguished or forgottenmy love feeds on your love belovedand as long as you live it will be in your armswithout leaving mine.
