Quote by Pablo Neruda

Well, nowIf little by little you stop loving meI shall stop loving youLittle by littleIf suddenly you forget meDo not look for meFor I shall already have forgotten youIf you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my lifeAnd you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have rootsRememberThat on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my armsAnd my roots will set off to seek another land

Well, nowIf little by little you stop loving meI shall stop

Summary

This quote portrays the nature of love and the reciprocal nature of affection.
