    Pablo Neruda
    “Well, now
    If little by little you stop loving me
    I shall stop loving you

    Do not look for me

    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”
