Let me say 'farewell', old friend. As though you could hear so far. Let my gentle wish to see you again Not be shun upon by the real's dark part, That part between us. Let me draw the rust Into something sentimental. Do not stir within my dreams so hushed. Do not leave me so ill.
The entire night sky. The deepest of the sea. A sheet of leaves. All could be the distance Between you to me.
I will not waste this wish of farewell On you. I will sprinkle it on myself Like a honey dew To sweeten and glue These broken pieces. Sing a lullaby. Bring him by. In my dreams at night. So that I may rest.
"Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example,'The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance.' The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too." -Pablo Neruda
