We say it everyday
You know, that word that makes us both feel so good That word, it settles the air between us
Our story that we never tire to hold
You know the word, it catches us before we start to fall
We say it till the stars begin to fade
Only word we need to know ~Love~
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
we #depart
thinking absence
will teach the heart
another language
yet some endings
go on breathing
beneath the skin of time
& the body
keeps its first fire
through every age
it is given
at last
an old word
returns
awakening
all the silence
we had mistaken
for forgetting
