218. my love, if you die and I don’t die
Sharing here lines that only Pablo Neruda could write.
Enjoy these moments and explore that fairy tale world, the final sanctuary for lovers.
“The sun may cloud over forever;
the sea may dry up in an instant;
the axis of the earth may break
like a fragile crystal.
Everything will happen! Death may cover me
with its funeral shroud;
but never will the flame of your love
be extinguished in me.”
And
“If I love you, it’s because you are
my love, my accomplice, and everything
and in the street, arm in arm,
we are much more than two.”
And
“Now you are mine. Rest with your dream in my dream.
Love, pain, struggles, must sleep now.
The night turns on its invisible wheels,
and beside you, I am only a dream.”
And
“My love, if I die and you don’t die,
my love, if you die and I don’t die,
let’s not give grief more territory:
there is no expanse like the one we lived.”
