Life reminders

Two days after and your words ring in my ears. You wrote it in my yesterday, in my silence, my work. In my slumber, a whisper before deep sleep. A reminder of how each day should be. Something I know I have to do. Something easier said than done.

"And I in these lines say:
Like this I want you, love,
love, Like this I love you,
as you dress
and how your hair lifts up
and how your mouth smiles,
light as the water
of the spring upon the pure stones,
Like this I love you, beloved."
-Pablo Neruda, from And because Love battles

I've got it under control. And all I ask for is strength and courage. Someday, I'll fall in love with everything again.
