Orsii

I have been ill with food poisoning, my internet failed me, as well as my computer that broke down this afternoon. So I was stuck with my thoughts most of today. Went through some old books, and found this poem by Pablo Neruda that I wanted to share as it is a good reflection of my current state of mind. (I hope you’re all well by the way! I miss posting here more regularly. A change will come soon, have no fear) Enjoy and much love! x

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it’s you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.
