we met for the first time. It was a very brief encounter...but there was something in the way you spoke, the dry sense of humour I recognized inmediately, that made me ring you on the next day...
Like in the last shot, nothing was clear, the future was unknown , it was just a feeling...just a feeling that this is the right thing to do...

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.
Pablo Neruda

Hi Marie, Wonderful post. It is just a coincidence, but Neruda was born very close to my hometown, in Chile. He took his pen name from Jan Neruda. ricardomartinez · 2011-10-20: 17:40
