There's this girl I like, and I'm trying to find a good poem by Sappho that is about two girls that would express how I feel about her.

  1. Read this one:

    If You Forget Me

      

    I want you to know

    one thing.

    You know how this is:

    if I look

    at the crystal moon, at the red branch

    of the slow autumn at my window,

    if I touch

    near the fire

    the impalpable ash

    or the wrinkled body of the log,

    everything carries me to you,

    as if everything that exists,

    aromas, light, metals,

    were little boats

    that sail

    toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

    Well, now,

    if little by little you stop loving me

    I shall stop loving you little by little.

    If suddenly

    you forget me

    do not look for me,

    for I shall already have forgotten you.

    If you think it long and mad,

    the wind of banners

    that passes through my life,

    and you decide

    to leave me at the shore

    of the heart where I have roots,

    remember

    that on that day,

    at that hour,

    I shall lift my arms

    and my roots will set off

    to seek another land.

    But

    if each day,

    each hour,

    you feel that you are destined for me

    with implacable sweetness,

    if each day a flower

    climbs up to your lips to seek me,

    ah my love, ah my own,

    in me all that fire is repeated,

    in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,

    my love feeds on your love, beloved,

    and as long as you live it will be in your arms

    without leaving mine.

    - By: Pablo Neruda
