“And for however long you do not come,
I’ll wait on the brink
of flights, of dreams,
of comet trails, motionless.
Because I know that neither wings,
nor wheels nor sails can travel
to where I once was.
They have all gone astray.
Because I know that to reach where I was
can only
be with you, be through you.
—Pedro Salinas, from “The Voice I Owe to You,” Memory in My Hands: The Love Poetry of Pedro Salinas (Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers, 2009)”

“What you're trying to say is that it's easier for you to hide in your own darkness, than emerge cloaked in your own vulnerability. Not better, but easier. However the longer you hold it in, the more likely you are to suffocate.
At some point, you must breathe.”
