Mother to Son

Well, son, I'll tell you

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you tur n back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood. 

                     This poem was  written by Pablo Neruda .it indicates lover  threw  wild  hands toward  the sky. And  the affrighted  steed  ran on alone. If you don't see the person for who he/she is... but maybe are seeing only an ideal, only what you want to see.It is  really a  neat story with great insights into the relationships we have with our best girlfriends. Loved it and loved the message of love and forgiveness.That's how it is with real  friends. They love us no matter what. It's not always a straight and easy road, but the course is true really be love. Maybe a kind of love, but not love at its best
