I love you, Not only for what you are, But for what I am When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

And clouds of white.<…

I remember perfectly that day

I remember perfectly that day,
Mostly what I had to say.
I confessed a love that did not know existed.
I woke up something for someone who now is far away.

Se amar e viver eu vivo pq eu amo você

Se amar e viver eu vivo pq eu amo você

Se amar e viver eu vivo pq eu amo você,
Pois se você naum existisse naum faria sentido viver num mundo onde você naum existesse.

Maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic. It's just the world that is and the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.
