Don't know any other way..
i don’t love you as if you were the salt -rose,topaz
Or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
i love you as certain Dark things are loved,
secretly... between the shadow and the soul.
i love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries,
Hidden within itself, the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.
i love you without knowing how or when, from where,
i love you simply without problems or pride:
i love you in this way because I
Don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which, there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep
it is your eyes that close..

Love this one!
Not to offend anyone, but this is the sort of "LOVE" I think doesn't exist.
It's as nonsenscial as saying "I can see Air"
Ah crap! such boorish remarks by me. Sorry! couldn't help it.

None taken, thats your opinion, independent of all other's :)
But the person who wrote it must have felt so to be compelled to write it..
No reality only perception?
Welcome to the extinction of absolution.
