Tonight I can write the saddest Lines

CREDITS: Pablo Neruda

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 him, and sometimes he loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held him in my arms
I kissed him again and again under the endless sky.

He loved me sometimes, and I loved him too.
How could one not have loved him great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have him. To feel that I have lost him.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without him.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep him.
The night is shattered and he is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost him.

My sight searches for him as though to go to him.
My heart looks for him, and he is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love him, that's certain, but how I loved him.
My voice tried to find the wind to his hearing.

Anothers. He will be another's. Like my kisses before.
His void. His bright body. His infinite eyes.

I no longer love him, that's certain, but maybe I love him.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long..

Because through nights like this one I held him in my arms
My soul is not satisfied that I lost him.

Though this be the last pain that he makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for him..


--"Her" in the original piece is change to him for the owner's sake



This one is good. It captures all the emotions within me.
