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. "

excerpt from 'Sonnet XVII' by Pablo Neruda


**painting is Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss'.
