If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda

I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

#Neruda's verses have always been the music serenading my empty soul.

Tula mula sa isang dating kaibigan

Kubkob ng karimlan ang himlayan ni bathala
Dilim na pilit binubutas ng mga bituin
At malabnaw na sinag ng buwan.
Ngayon na ako'y waring manhid at natutuod,
Pinapatay ang aking pandama
At malamig na hagupit ng hangin
At piring na hatid ng gabi
Dito rin sa isang sulok
Na hindi ko mailahad ang kinaroroonan.
Madilim
Maginaw,
Nawawala ang aking puso, diwa at isipan.

At sa aking pagbabalik tanaw
ng kahapong maaaring tangayin ng panahon,
sa aking gunita ay may hawla
upang matapos samyuin ang bawat hibla ng nakaraan
ay aking maikulong ang alaala ng ating pagtatagpo...
