• 1. "Your eyes have called me, you have attracted my desires to you, as the moon attracts the waves of the sea, your good eyes have said to me "come, come closer", and in my soul the wings have opened the impulses of love, like seagulls that are already taking flight" - Manuel Magallanes Moure (Marina)
• 2. "Until my bones turn to ashes and my heart stops beating" - Pablo Neruda (Letter to Matilde Urrutia)
• 3. "The world has been more beautiful since you made me your ally, when by a hawthorn tree we were speechless and love, like a hawthorn tree, pierced us with fragrance!" - Gabriela Mistral (God willing)
• 4. "I'll follow you to where the earth ends, Where the poles turn their wings, Or farther still, where the light doesn't reach, In a dark turmoil that can't find a beach, In the melodious net of the lost star that drops its anchor in forgotten worlds" - Ángel Cruchaga (Tu voz)
• 5. "I want life because you are life. I want the shadow because you are shadow, woman. I want the earth because you are earth. And your kisses like figs like water from rural springs. Like grapes full of sea, singing from the cosmic vineyards (...) Ambassador of the swallows, woman, the idolized one. God is proud to have made you" - Pablo de Rokha (La idolatrada)
• 6. "You spoke of the heart even through your eyes, you spoke of fire even through the snow, for you I decided one day at random to find you. I have untied the knot of chance - one morning I decided suddenly - and only those who have managed to untie it will be able to understand me" - Braulio Arenas (El corazón)
• 7. "It's true that we'll make love, and we'll do it the way I like it. A whole day of closed blinds, until your body replaces the sun" - Jorge Teillier (Letter to Mariana)
• 8. "Muse, wherever you go I go. I follow your radiant trail through the long night. No matter the years or the sickness. No matter the pain or the effort I have to make to follow you."

"Because with you I can cross the great desolate spaces and I will always find the door that returns me to the Chimera because you are with me. Muse, more beautiful than the sun and more beautiful than the stars" - Roberto Bolaño (Muse)

• 9. "This is the house, here you have it with the door open (...) This is the house to be as we are, to count the birthday candles and the others too, to hang the clothes and the sadness that we will never give to the light" - Delia Domínguez (This is the House)
• 10. "My love: keep me then in you, in the most secret torrents that your rivers raise, and when there is only something left of us like a shore, keep me in you too, keep me in you like the interrogation of the waters that are leaving" - Raúl Zurita (Guárdame en ti)
• 11. "My anarchic heart accepts a provisional government, while I continue in clandestine negotiations with your eyes, with your mouth invading all my limits, in this war that you declare on me, in this open love between us" - Teresa Calderón (Estado de sitio)
• 12. "It was enough just a yes to live the already and the after. It was enough just a few sighs to create a today. It was enough just a yes at the right moment for the you are to die. It was enough just a yes from your lips for the I am to be forgotten. It was enough just a yes, a simple yes, a single yes, for the we are to be born".

"And from that magical and tender yes began to forge the promise of your kisses. And from the luggage of our dream we were born to a timid reality (...) It was enough that you existed in my seconds to love time. That the hours and the silence existed to know that this way and only this way we breathe together" - Gonzalo Osses Vilches (It was enough just a yes)

will give you my heart
