Dear You: Mediocrity tastes of lemons,

writeletters-dearyou:

and I keep telling myself
that you are going to come
back and tremble at the sight of
my smile, and you
will wander

into my arms and kiss me
for once
finally—but I know not
what the future is
and you are growing away

for fear of all this. Let it go,
love me, don’t love me, I am

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

– Pablo Neruda, Sonnet XVII (via girlouteast)

About:

Hi, I'm Allie! I sing and study opera, but I also listen to other kinds of music too. I love gay people so much it's unhealthy. Brooklyn and Block Island, RI are my favorite places in the world. I'm a mix of cultures, religions, and languages. My dog is my life. Boys are pretty swell, too, but all I really want to do is go back in time and marry Paul Newman. Or Robert Redford.
