Don’t fall in love with a woman who reads,
A woman who feels too much,
A woman who writes...
Don’t fall in love with an educated, magical, delusional, crazy woman.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks,
who knows what she knows and also knows how to fly;
a woman sure of herself.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries making love,
Knows how to turn her spirit into flesh;
Let alone one that loves poetry (these are the most dangerous),
Or spends half an hour contemplating a painting and isn't able to live without music.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics and is rebellious,
And feel a huge horror from injustice.
One who does not like to watch television at all. Or a woman who is beautiful no matter the features of her face or her body.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is intense, entertaining, lucid and irreverent.
Don’t even wish to fall in love with a woman like that.
Because when you fall in love with a woman like that,
Whether she stays with you or not,
Whether she loves you or not,
From a woman like that, you can never come back.
-Martha Rivera-Garrido
