Tonight I Can Write ...

Pablo Neruda's Tonight I Can Write has been going through my head a lot lately. I almost feel like my life right now is this poem. What I mean by that is that I have been fighting a lot with my fiancee and I think this time, things might be over. Neruda writes: "She loved me, sometimes I loved her too" With all of the tension going on between the two of us, these words speek deeply to me, because I do love her, I just don't love the  fights. "Love is so short, forgetting is so long." How true are these words? Love can come and go, but the memories of the times together are what lasts forever.
