"نمیخواهم شب بیاید چون میخواهم بین ما فاصله باشد"
— Pablo Neruda
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they don’t want the night to come because they want distance between them and another person, it means they're trying to avoid thinking about or facing their feelings for that person. They might be trying to distract themselves during the day when they can be busy with other activities. However, at night, when things are quieter and they have fewer distractions, these feelings come back, making them uncomfortable or sad. Think of it like a student who keeps themselves busy all day with their studies and sports to avoid thinking about a recent fight with a close friend. Once nighttime arrives, there's nothing to keep the student distracted, and the hurtful memories and feelings rush back, making them feel sad and lonely. They would rather stay busy all the time to keep those tough feelings at bay. To apply this in life, recognize that avoiding uncomfortable feelings by staying busy is a temporary solution. It might be more helpful to face and deal with these emotions directly, perhaps talking to someone trusted or finding ways to work through the problem. This way, night or quiet times do not become overwhelming and stressful.
