A poem that captures the beauty and the pain in loving someone.
Love can be beautiful and dazzling, but some that same beauty soon fades away and you're left with a shadow of someone who once was and the bitter sweet taste of memories.
Pablo Neruda elegantly captured the charming moments of love as well as the torment and misery that can come from the same passion for something or someone.
Enjoy.
I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.
I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.
Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.
In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

Hi @joseph. I am from Venezuela. Nice poem. I like Neruda... Regards
Beautiful. I don't believe in faded love. I believe love is persistent. You don't unlove for instance, your kids because they don't do what you want. I believe in the fairytale kind of love - Everlasting
Love seem to be small words in four letters but its powerful, helping and at times wicked. Experiencing love is great cos God command this. Nice write up bro... Welcome. Hoping to see more of your post.
Amazing words. Most people see love as this thing of happiness and flowers and butterflies, when it's actually so raw and contradictory and often full of pain.
Awesome
really like it
waiting ur next poetry
