I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where
I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride
I love you because I know no other way than this
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand
So close that when you close your eyes I fall asleep
-- A quotation from one of my favorite movies - Dead Poets Society

This poem is the work of Pablo Neruda (sonnet XVII of his Hundred Love Sonnets) and you can read it in its entirety (and others) here.
Wishing you a poetic new year.
this IS great. thanks.
Yes, Shadow, I've loved it for so long and the movie too.
Thanks, spacedlaw! I never read the original, nor did I know who the author was. Absolutely beautiful!
Wish both of you a wonderful 2009!
