Laila

“You came to my life
with what you were bringing,
made
of light and bread and shadow I expected you,
and Like this I need you,
Like this I love you,
and to those who want to hear tomorrow
that which I will not tell them, let them read it here,
and let them back off today because it is early
for these arguments.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Poetry of Pablo Neruda

“My eyes were consumed by your loveliness, but you have become my eyes.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Poetry of Pablo Neruda

“There is no perfection, only beautiful versions of brokenness.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.”
― Jules Renard
