“I exist in two places,
here and where you are.”
― Margaret Atwood

“Of all the stars I admired, drenched
in various rivers and mists,
I chose only the one I love,
Since then I sleep with the night.

Of all the waves, one wave and another wave,
green sea, green chill, branchings of green,
I chose only the one wave,
The indivisible wave of your body

All the waterdrops, all the roots
all the threads of light gathered to me here;
they came to me sooner or later

I wanted your hair all for myself
From all the gaces of my homeland offered
I chose only your savage heart.”
― Pablo Neruda
