when they told me
to not
make homes out of peoplei laughed
because who would be foolish enough
to plant the seeds of themselves
in a skin that wasn’t theirs, or in a smile
they didn’t ownbut when i turned to show you
there was only quietempty space
and my roots
from around your ribcage
But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.
— Pablo Neruda (via embracethevision)
