 Sunrise In Galveston by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I've learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not always to be trusted.” ― Steve Goodier Well it has been a very difficult four months, fiscal year-end, new staff and the beginning of an Audit. Then suddenly, there was a leadership change details of which really do not matter. The thing that is important is that I turned in my resignation yesterday and my last day is on 11/22/2019. Lets say when one wakes and looks for excuses to not go to work there is a problem and this time I addressed it head on. I am proud of myself... that's right! I am okay and did the right thing for me. I am looking for my path again... eyes wide open, with clear vision and heart in hand. I will continue! Richard Clayderman is a brilliant pianist... here is my music for today, enjoy! It is an instrumental; however the words below describe my emotion. Richard Clayderman - Ballade Pour Adeline When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, And don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm, There's a golden sky, And a sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Though your dreams be tossed and blown... Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone... You'll never walk alone Walk On! Walk On! With hope in your heart, And you'll never walk alone... You'll never walk alone Love you my sweetheart... and thinking about you... only you

 "Come Close" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Come to me. Why must you ruin this moment? You are burdened with thought. Burdened with the past and expectations of the future. You are burdened with your self. Cast these aside by laughing at yourself. And love, for what more is there than to love me? Take me now and let it be heaven for us.” ― Kamand Kojouri It has been a long time since I wrote anything; however I have thought a lot about life, choices, behavior, responses, regrets, hopes, yesterday and tomorrow. Living in the now is important... I wake up and thank the lord for the new day... and live my day. I have always felt it was safer to think and act this way. If I die well I didn't agonize over the fact of death. The finality of it all. This probably tells you lot about me. Everyday, I start a new page, it may be the same as yesterday's or even tomorrows; however my plans are typically short term if I am to act on them. Yes there are those dreams and hopes but to buy the new car or tires for the old one happens this weeks, not in three months. I have a budgets that helps me plan ahead... but then I am living right now... Risk taker? Big yes and small no. It is a difficult yet easy decision and is strictly based on how much I am loved and the potential for a logical or even positive outcome.... This month, this week today, this afternoon... if not then I will address it tomorrow....This behavior is really about believing in my tomorrow in the hopes that if I get there it will go my way or at least I have a sure footing with people, time, events that I have invested in. Complicate? Hell yes! I have always been at the crossroads of my life... Why? because I am also scare about tomorrow and the choices I make that will affect me emotionally... If I die... well I am dead... who cares... It's the pain in disappointment, loss, love, loneliness that might crush me... So it's hard for me to crossover the road.... To make that decision... The right decision... People who know me, understand this about me and are patiently helping me cross this road.... to the other side. Don't push! I am stubborn... "smile" Here is a song that speaks to this universe. Love Me Anyway P!nk Even if you see my scars Even if I break your heart If we're a million miles apart Do you think you'd walk away? If I get lost in all the noise Even if I lose my voice Flirt with all the other boys What would you say? Could you? Could you? Could you love me anyway? Is it for better or for worse Or am I just your good time girl? Can you still hold me when it hurts Or would you walk away? Even if I scandalize you Cut you down and criticize you Tell a million lies about you What would you say? Could you? Could you? Could you? Could you love me anyway? Could you? (Aw, could you?) Could you? (Could you?) Could you? Could you love me anyway? Could you? Could you? (Could you still love me?) Could you? (Pick up the pieces of me?) Could you? (Could you still love me?)

I can always want you and need you... however I love you just the same. I can't throw it way, expect a different feeling no matter how I am treated... It's love... a simple fact... I can get angry, upset to the point of leaving but can't because you are my soul...  Purple Triangle by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The initial confrontation of the root is the most critical part of this journey.” ― Bruce Lengeman In Purple Fields We Dance Stay a little longer come closer to my heart Breathe dew breeze on my neck's nape do not yet depart Play for me bagpipe music Blindfold all my starving fears Let the dulcet tones of your voice give us back those harvest years Make of the citrus moon a ballroom Hold me firmly from both hands Lift me high to touch the star-sky Show me how young peasants dance Let my soothing fingers trail across your caloused sun -soaked skin In purple fields Come chase me in that place our souls have been Take me away with you where this world is out of sight Where unspoken thoughts and heartbeats are enough to blaze the night.

We are made of star stuff.” ― Carl Sagan To Only You I can’t explain it! It’s like running furiously lost time Trying to find that moment that’s passing me by It’s a quiet sadness, only I know to feel As I laugh in days to nights the skin, I peel How can love evoke behavior like this? From agony to seconds knotted in fanciful bliss An energy laden in the flames of unfettered appeal Which is the true secret this soul must reveal To only you, my love is primal, tender and benign Saith I to you seeking moments shared at your side. Diana Mary Sharpton© Copyright 2019 All rights Reserved "What Would I Do" If you leave me, if you grieve me What would I do without you to see me through. If you hurt me, if you desert me What would I do, without you, to see me through. What would I do Tell me I wanna know Who would I see What would I know.

I love you Sugar be my spring...  "Canary Yellow" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” ― Mandy Hale Can't seem to get this song out of my head, I heard it on the way home last Friday. I plan on retiring soon... or let's say not soon enough. Waiting for my paperwork to show-up. We all go through times that are hard, easy and happy. God bless me to make it to that happy point... even though it may be hard. The below poem is an internal struggle, I went through a few years ago. The good news is that this battle has become less and less each day. Isn't that something! I recently moved to a small one bedroom and my children stayed in my old apartment. The complex did us a solid and painted both units and laid new carpet. I just love both apartments. The amazing things is that the battle my son and I were in has vanished. He loves me now! I am blessed... yes indeed. I love the color of cobalt blue; however I am going to add to this list candy apple red, jet black, soft grey and canary yellow with the brilliance of them all dancing in my new apartment for me to enjoy every minute of the day. Yes, I can now walk around in my skin, wash clothes when I want, make noise, food lasts a week, no dishes in the sink and there are quiet moments when needed... This move has been an amazing lift to my outlook and mood. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and miss them, but they needed for me to move out...lol! Flock of Loons by Diana Mary Sharpton Churning thoughts drift as insignificant balloons, Springing upward into flight, As a flock of sultry loons Suddenly! Ear-piercing, there’s a CLASH, Breaking tranquility, A complete sound botch, As birds airlift from the distant loch Reminiscence, it’s all so pristine, As a fresh dewy morning, Crisp, green and serene Yes, I crossed the traverse today, And faced a demon or two, along my way, There’s no hiding from time, It slams the soul in discomfort, Slowly crawling up between nerve and spine One thing doesn’t change, It’s life’s impression, Washing down my face, Dictating pace, And clocking my next sensation or taste I looked in the mirror, today Bewildered, I would say Instead of me, I saw you Wondering who it was looking so cool I knew you but you looked through me, Seeing nothing relevant, Just a vastness, encompassing the deep blue sea, The difference felt little frightening too! An awkwardness, see, Because, I had found consolation without your soul in me What would I do? To merge the two! NOW and THEN, Split apart by sadness, loss, denial, revenge and sin, It’s just NOW, so I opened the reflection and let you in, Touched by this commotion, You reconciled to NOW and I to THEN © Copyright by Diana Mary Sharpton 2013-2019 "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" (from "Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid" soundtrack) Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore It's gettin' dark, too dark to see I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore That long black cloud is comin' down I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door References: Lyrics https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bobdylan/knockinonheavensdoor.html Sugar you have touched my soul, my heart and my mind...

 "Trinity Sunset" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "Not from the whole wide world I choose thee, Sweetheart, light of the land and the sea! The wide, wide world could not enclose thee, For thou art the whole wide world to me." - R. W. Gilder Talk To Me by Suzanne Hayasaki Sit with me in the shade of this tree. Tell me who you were, who you are, And who it is you wish to be. Talk to me of days gone by and days to come. Talk to me of warm mornings, cool evenings, And cold nights, writing by candlelight. Tell me of the epic that will not come. Tell me of the love poems that continue to flow, Unread, unpublished, unappreciated, Unseen by the eyes that inspire them. Tell me of your ambitions, your wishes, Your vision of what you could be If someone would take the time to read The words you put to paper so passionately. Recite and I will listen. Hypnotize me with your rhymes. Lull me with the rhythms of your speech. Create a complete world with your words And let your voice lead us both Where you want us to go. The epic is an oral tradition. Poetry is meant to be heard not read. Don’t look for your story in the structure. Don’t expect to work magic if you are counting feet. Just be. Just speak. Just believe That within you is beauty And release it. "Wide River To Cross" There's a sound in the wind, blowing down the road I've been I can hear it cry while shadows steal the Sun But I can not look back now, come too far to turn around And there's still a race ahead, I must run I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I have stumbled, I have strayed You can trace the tracks I've made All across the memories, why aren't we gone But I'm just a refugee, won't you sing a prayer for me Cause sometimes even the strongest soldiers falls I'm only half way home I got a journey on, Where I'll find the things I have lost I've come a long, long road Still I've got miles to go I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross I've got a wide, wide river to cross References: Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dianakrall/widerivertocross.html Video: Diana Krall - Published on Sep 11, 2012 Personal Note: To the man I love, I want you morning, noon and night. I think of you always, every minute of the day. What are you doing today? How did you feel? Did you laugh and think about me? Did you take long steps or sit down? Did you get angry and shrugged it off? Dance with this gal my darling. The journey is not over yet. It's you that bring the sun to my rainy days and without you I am lost. Consistency spells affection. Affection is the response to my emotion, I have for you. You are the love of my life. Diana  "Look at Me Baby" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.” ––by Jamie McGuire This post is mainly for entertainment value...lol! I am feeling a little "Soulish". Check out the words before you make judgement. Pretty much we all go through these types of emotions; however at the end of the day, one stays if there is real love. There's Something On Your Mind B.B. King There's something on your mind By the way you look at me There is something on your mind, baby By the way you look at me And what you're thinking brings happiness Oh, and it bring misery Please, please, don't try to tell me I think, I, I understand No, no, don't try to tell me, baby 'Cause I think, I, I understand You want me to try and forget you Well, I'll do, baby, I'll do the best I can You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone And you know that someone don't love you It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know That the someone that you're in love with Is in love with your best friend And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you Rocking your cradle, you know, better Than you can rock your cradle yourself Then there's only one thing for you to do You just pack your clothes turn around And slowly walk out of the door Look over your left shoulder as you go out Then you hang your head and you say Oh please don't try to tell me Uh huh, I think, I understand No, no, no, no please don't try to tell me Because you think, you think I understand Oh you want me to try, to try to forget you, baby And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can You know after you have done all you could do And you can't take no more, then you go downtown You get your big baseball bat And you come back on the scene Where they both are still together And then you just go and kick down the door Now as you kick down the door you just start Beating the hell of everybody that you can see Everybody that comes through the door And just as you make up your mind that you're gonna try To forgive her, then out comes another one of your friends And that really blows your mind so you go and think about You say to yourself, baby I realize I've done wrong But please forgive me and with a smirky smile on her face Then she look up at you and she say If you ever think about me (Oh I think about you, baby) If you ever change your mind (Oh you're staying on my mind, baby) If you ever think about me (Oh I think, I think about you all the time) And if I ever cross your mind (You stay on my mind) Well, you know, you know You know I'm yours And I know, I know you got to be mine (Yeah) There's something on your mind, be I can tell by the way you look at me (Oh, there's something, on my mind, baby) There is something on your mind (Oh can you tell, there's something on my mind) By the way you look at me (Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me) And what you're thinking brings happiness (Yes, baby) Oh and it can bring misery (Yes, all right) Songwriters: Big Jay McNeely There's Something On Your Mind lyrics © BMG Rights Management You know I am yours Sugar... lovin' the thought of you; however because of my unemployment situation, I am feeling that line beating the "Hell" out of someone other than you...lol!  "You Are My Everything" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.” ― Henry David Thoreau Aretha Franklin died today, 08/16/2018, and with much sadness I remember how much she touched my life, heart, soul with her brilliant songs. RIP dear lady heaven has called. "A Change Is Gonna Come" There's an old friend that I once heard say Somethin' that touched my heart, and it began this way: I was born by the river, in a little tent; And just like the river, I've been runnin' every since... He said, "It's been a long time comin', but I know my change is gonna come..." Oh, yeah... He said, "It's been too hard livin', but I'm afraid to die; I might not be if I knew what was up there beyond the sky... It's been a long, a long time comin', but I know my change has got to come..." Oh, yeah... I went... I went to my brother And I asked him, "Brother, could you help me, please?" He said, "Good sister, I'd like to, but I'm not able..." And when I, when I looked around, I was right back down, down on my bended knees, Yes, I was! Oh! There've been times that I thought... I thought that I wouldn't last for long, But somehow, right now, I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on... I tell you that it's been a long... and, oh, it's been an uphill journey all the way, But I know, I know, I know, I know my change is gonna come... Sometimes, I've had to cry all night long - yes, I did; Sometimes, I had to give up right for what I knew was wrong... Yeah, it's been an uphill journey! It's sure been a long way comin'... yes, it has... It's been real hard every step of the way, But I believe, I believe, this evenin', my change has come... Yeah! I tell you that my change has come References: Lyrics https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/arethafranklin/achangeisgonnacome.html Love you Sugar... you are the heart of me. Nothing changes this fact.  The Rose by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.” ― Kurt Vonnegut New brilliant music by Calum Scott. "You Are The Reason" There goes my heart beating Cause you are the reason I'm losing my sleep Please come back now There goes my mind racing And you are the reason That I'm still breathing I'm hopeless now I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Oh, cause I need you to see That you are the reason There goes my hands shaking And you are the reason My heart keeps bleeding And I need you now If I could turn back the clock I'd make sure the light defeated the dark I'd spend every hour, of every day Keeping you safe I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Oh, cause I need you to see That you are the reason I don't wanna fight no more I don't wanna hide no more I don't wanna cry no more Come back I need you to hold me (You are the reason) Come a little closer now Just a little closer now Come a little closer I need you to hold me tonight I'd climb every mountain And swim every ocean Just to be with you And fix what I've broken Cause I need you to see That you are the reason References: Lyrics - https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/calumscott/youarethereason.html Sugar, the question is do I live in fantasy or reality? The truth of the matter is that I live my life in both and everyone does as well. My current reality is that I lost my job on 06/28/2018. That I have sent out 500 resumes without much luck. That I cannot retire until January so I live on unemployment, food stamps and the kindness of family members. That I do love you. These are real feelings and facts. I wish the latter was a bad dream and soon I will wake up... no such luck. Now lets tackle fantasy. I definitely play with this area in my life for physical satisfaction, for now, because the reality is I do not share a bed with another person. Everyone does this at one point or another. Finally, I can only know facts on fantasy and reality about myself and I can only perceive those facts in others. I certainly hope those perceived moments are real... I need you Sugar...Ask me my feelings if you need to know and let me talk to you about yours.  "Unconscious Beauty" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.” ― E.E. Cummings Personal Note: Does one settle because the path is easy? All one has to do is the same as yesterday and the day before. Is this ones happiness? If it is, then look no further and if it is not then soul searching is in order. Listen to ones heart screaming for a different view. A choice completely outside of your comfort zone. As more time ticks away the bigger the risk appears. Is it possible to find love, happiness, success after sixty? Is it possible to grab that golden ring and go for it? Yes; however one must be willing to try something completely new and not give up at the steepest part of the climb. The commitment is to happiness and the formula is not one thing (success, passion, dreams or love); it is a balance in all. One must be able to walk away from yesterday. I heard an amazing new song produce by U2 titled "Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way". The video is powerful as well. I highly recommend a few minutes of your time. "Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way" The door is open to go through If I could I would come too But the path is made by you As you're walking start singing and stop talking Oh, if I could hear myself when I say Oh, love is bigger than anything in its way So young to be the words of your own song I know the rage in you is strong Write a world where we can belong To each other and sing it like no other Oh, if I could hear myself when I say Oh, love is bigger than anything in it's way If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay Oh, sing your song Let your song be sung If you listen you can hear the silence say When you think you're done You've just begun Love is bigger than anything in its way Love is bigger than anything in its way Love is bigger than anything in its way Reference: Lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/u2band/loveisbiggerthananythinginitsway.html I love you dear Sugar... lets dance under the moonlight in that club foot sway :)  "Pondering" by Diana Mary Sharpton (c) Copywrite Introduction: “Without music, life would be a mistake.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche A little jazzy sound for this evening.... with that glass of "RED".... and You...

It is all locked up and won't come out. Scare to think about tomorrow, while too sad to look back on yesterday. Nothing makes sense anymore. I had another birthday this week. It's not why I 'm blue... but then in a way it is. I have heard from so many wonderful friends and family members, yet the couple of people I looked for the most have forgotten me again. 2nd year in a row. I wonder what this means. So I listen to music. It speaks for me. The song I am featuring is by Van Morrison. He is absolutely brilliant. Pick up some of his albums, you will want to buy them all. The song featured on this post is titled "Take Me Back". It brings into mind reminiscing, soul searching, and absolutely perfect for this mood in blue.

 "Facing The Sun" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: "The music plays . . . and your sense of reality is heightened to a dream." ― David Mutti Clark "Holding On" Do you know what I'm thinking about you all the time Do you know when I'm dreaming and wishing you were mine Girl, when you standing next to me There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be Till the day when you're in my arms I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Do you know what I'm feeling right down to my soul Well, my senses are reeling and I might just lose control Girl, when you far away from me I'm disconnected from my destiny Till the day when you're by my side I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on You say your friends and your family could never take a man like me Why should I care what they talk about Baby take a chance, you'll see Knowing you standing close to me There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be Till the day when you're in my arms I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on. References: Lyrics - https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/garymoore/holdingon.html Dear Sugar Hopefully you will get this note. I have spent the entire day thinking about you. Worried, down in the dumps. I guess this means your thinking about me too. Miss you and wanted to let you know how important to my life you are and that I pray for your healing spirit comes alive... Don't give up! I haven't given up on you... Lov U so much xoxox D~  "The Bee In Her Bonnet" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing — desire.” ― Willa Cather "Colder Weather" She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in, And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay, She's answered by the tail lights shining through the window pane [Chorus:] He said I wanna see you again But I'm stuck in colder weather Maybe tomorrow will be better Can I call you then? She said you're ramblin' man You ain't ever gonna change You got a gypsy soul to blame And you were born for leavin'. At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln, The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin', And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same ol' light a-shinin', He thinks of Colorado and the girl he left behind him [Chorus:] He said I wanna see you again But I'm stuck in colder weather Maybe tomorrow will be better Can I call you then? She said you're ramblin' man You ain't ever gonna change You got a gypsy soul to blame And you were born for leavin' (born for leavin') Well, it's a winding road When you're in the lost and found You're a lover – I'm a runner And we go 'round 'n 'round And I love you but I leave you I don't want you but I need you You know it's you who calls me back here, baby Oh I wanna see you again But I'm stuck in colder weather Maybe tomorrow will be better Can I call you then? Cause I'm a ramblin' man I ain't ever gonna change (I ain't ever gonna change) I got a gypsy soul to blame And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin') When I close my eyes I see you No matter where I am I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines I'm with your ghost again It's a shame about the weather But I know soon we'll be together And I can't wait 'til then I can't wait 'til then Personal Note: I love this group, they are just brilliant as they sing this song... Love is full of contradictions... at the end will love win? That depends on desire! I hope it does... I miss you terribly Sugar...

 "On A Bridge" by Diana Mary Sharpton Introduction: “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt "Dancing In The Dark" I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired Man I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there baby, I could use just a little help You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark Message keeps getting clearer radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is You can't start a fire you can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark You sit around getting older there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders come on baby this laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright They say you gotta stay hungry hey baby I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book I need a love reaction come on now baby gimme just one look You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Hey baby I hope this letter gets to you soon: Dear Sugar, I miss you. Stop hiding from me. I know you are and this is what hurts. I love you dearly and need for you to stand by me as I have stood by you. It is easy man just show up. Don't worry about all the small stuff.... you will be okay. No matter what kind of storm that befalls us, don't ever give up, someone love you and that is important. XOXO Diana |

Diana Mary Sharpton“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 do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” Categories
