"If You Forget Me." ,This Is My Inspiration Folks!

"I want you to know one thing.

You know how this is;
If I look
At the crystal moon, at the red branch.
Of the slow autumn at my window,
If I touch
Near the fire
The impalpable ash
Or the wrinkled body of the log,
Everything carries me to you,
As if everything that exists,
Aromas, light, metals.
Were little boats that sail
Towards the isles of yours that await for me.

Well, now,
If little by little you stop loving me,
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly,
You forget me
Do not look for me,
For I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
The wind of banners
That passes through my life,
And you decide
To leave me at the shore,
Of the hearts where I have the roots,
Remember,
that on that day,
On that hour,
I shall lift my arms,
And my roots shall set off,
To seek another land.

But
If each day,
Every hour,
You feel that you are destined for me,
With implacable sweetness,
If each day a flower
Climbs up to your lips to seek me,
Ah my love, Ah my own,
In me all that fire is repeated,
In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
My love feeds on your love beloved,
And as long as you live it will be in your arms,
Without leaving mine."
                           - Pablo Neruda.
