1) Dont ask her to be feminine.
2) Dont let her drink over three glasses. Shell beat someone.
3) At a caf, drink coffee instead of coke or juice.
4)If she hits you, act like it hurts. If it hurts act like it doesnt.
5) On your 100th day together, give her a rose during her class. Shell like it a lot.
6) Make sure you learn fencing and squash.
7) Also, be prepared to go to prison sometimes.
8) If she says shell kill you, dont take it lightly. Youll feel better.
9) If her feet are hurting, exchange shoes with her.
10) Finally, she likes to write. Encourage her.

Pablo Neruda - Clenched Soul

Monday, December 12th, 2005

We have lost even this twilight. No one saw us this evening hand in hand while the blue night dropped on the world. I have seen from my window the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops. Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin in my hand. I remembered you with my soul clenched in that sadness of mine that you know. Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away? The book fell that always closed at twilight and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet. Always, always you recede through the evenings toward the twilight erasing statues.
