IF YOU FORGET ME

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Pablo Neruda

QUESTION

Some days ago I had an interesting girl’s talk with one of my friends, and as you can imagine a lot of things came up in our conversation. And, there was something she said that made have a slightly dilemma “There are some moments in life in which I wonder, what will be much easier to love or to forget somebody?”

.

What do you think about it?

TIRED OF BEING SORRY

Maybe you were right
But baby I was lonely
I don't want to fight
I'm tired of being sorry

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN .. ....?

In the morning light
Half awake and half a sleep
Have you ever laid there thinking?
Was it all a dream?
But you reach out and he’s there
Every moment, everywhere
Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever felt?
How far a heart can fall
Have you ever stayed up waiting?
For a telephone call
Just to hear him say hello
’Cause you miss each other so
Have you ever been in love?

Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe him
’Cause you’d die a little if he lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out?
But still he leaves you wondering
What it’s all about?

And when he is far away
Have you ever felt the need to stray?
And tried and then discovered
It just doesn’t pay
’Cause with him, you can be true
And with him, you can be you
Have you ever been in love?

And when the night comes down
Can you call your house a home?
Do you dream you’re still together?
And wake up alone
Have you ever been in love?
The way that I’m in love
Have you ever been in love?
