Why I Love How I Met Your Mother!

Among many reasons, chief of them being Barney Stinson, I would say its because it introduced me to this beautiful poem & Pablo Neruda in this episode.

I tried looking for the complete poem, but couldn't find it anywhere, I'm guessing they just picked up bits and pieces from many of his poems.

Anyway, sharing what little I found:

"Just knowing you're out there thinking about me, 

Caring about me, makes me feel safe 

So all my fears, all my yesterdays wash away, 

And only hope remains in the promise of your embrace. 

You make me thank god for every mistake I ever made, 

Because each one led me down the path that brought me to you.

And when we finally come together, I want you to hold me all night. 

Stroke my hair, tell me I'm a woman, and show me you're a man.

Until there was only now; you, and I, and now. 

I do not ask of the night explanations, I wait for it, and it envelops me 

And so you and bread and light and shadow are."

- Pablo Neruda via Stan the Security Guy


And I'll be back when the wind and fates and chance bring me back...
