I love you like this because I do not know any other way to love - Pablo Neruda, Sonnet 17


Is there a creature
So despised as the fly?
Buzzing around picnics,
In living rooms,
In people's ears?
We swat, but
He is gifted with speed
And talented is the person
Who brings him down.
I suppose, though,
We are a pest
To the fly as well,
For we are always
Making noise too
And buzzing in
Other people's lives.
