SONNET XVII-Pablo Neruda"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 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 simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I nor you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close."I'm a fan of: hot showers, the ankle sock but when the mood strikes me for the tall sock I'll roll them, rainbow flip flops! I <3 my flip flops and I wear them all the time! Tiffany & Co., yes, yes..I love it. Odd/out-of-the ordinary movies you can only find on Showtime at 3am err is that just porn? Popcorn with napkins plz, hoodies with homemade cuts in the neck-hole because they obviously don't make the necks big enough for my ginormous head, hygiene!(I'm a friend of deodorant and regular baths and come to realize if you aren't a friend to the deo you are no friend of mine.) Nicely shaped eyebrows, snuggles, raindrops, thunderstorms, my cats, kisses on my nose/forehead/lips/cheek, pictures, painted toes, music, (without it, I'm not sure I could survive), movies..movies...movies I love watching movies and buying movies, having a best friend (I Love you Becca and I couldn't ask for a better friend of 14 years!) Can't leave out my Shelbs! I'm so glad I could have a friend so far away that I can count on to always be there for me! I love you girl! Being in love...being in love with my best friend, I'm so happy to have somebody I can honestly say I'm ready to spend my life with!(I Love my sweets) Memories of drinks in the driveway, honesty, dancing in the kitchen..bedroom..hallway..just about anywhere, candles, txt-messaging..where would I be without txt-messaging, quotes, horoscopes, astrology, fate, my mobile, diet coke, memories of the past and looking forward to the future.
