"I touched guilt in your eyes as your lips begin to lie and it kills me every time, but I always learn the hard way with you and it always ends in heartbreak. You put me in a hard place, I’m always in a hard way. My heart breaks with you.

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair

by Pablo Neruda

Don’t go far off, not even for a day
Don’t go far off, not even for a day,
Because I don’t know how to say it - a day is long
And I will be waiting for you, as in
An empty station when the trains are
Parked off somewhere else, asleep.

Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because then
The little drops of anguish will all run together,
The smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
Into me, choking my lost heart.

Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve
On the beach, may your eyelids never flutter
Into the empty distance. Don’t LEAVE me for
A second, my dearest, because in that moment you’ll
Have gone so far I’ll wander mazily
Over all the earth, asking, will you
Come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
