Don't Go Far Off

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
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

    dont leave me for a day.. for a minute.. for a second... only someone who knows love can write this.. there r many who would love to say this but couldnt.. couldnt stop those who have made up their mind to go.. but i think pablo neruda gives words to their anguish..

    Such a beautiful poem! ! The author's plea to his heart's lover
    Don't leave me for a second, my dearest, becomes a song of adoration! !
    An awesome author! !

    Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach; may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
    I could never read these words and not be touched by the desolation felt..... only a true soul could place these words with such meaning...beautiful....

    Oh Pablo, you move me brother, only the ones who have really
    Experienced loss and pain in love can understand, sometimes it feels like a curse but my friend as you know to feel is a blessing, thank you
