Simply You

I know I love You
As things are to be Loved
A secret thing between the shadow and the soul
Not like the flower of salt rose
nor the precious Topaz Stone
or the arrow of carnation the fire shoots off
I Love You and Simply You

I know I love You
As plant that never blooms
But carries in the light of hidden flowers
I thank your love for such Heavenly Scent
risen softly from the earth
and lives ever forever in my soul
I Love You and Simply You

I know that I love You
I Love the Simple You
Without Knowing How or When or Why
and Where it's from

I know that I Love You
I Love the Sweet and Simple You
I've no other way to love you
than this Simple Tune

I Love You just Simply You

~ Pablo Neruda - Sonnet XVII ~
