I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

I understand everything that this poem is trying to get across. I love it and I would kiss the author if I can.

I don't understand this peom but it is good the part I do understand.

i understand this fabulous poem I am living with htis experience everyday of my life thank you

This is a poem that might seem confusing at first but I believe it is just like love, it can be at times contradicting, but in the long run later understood.

I am the object of her love and hate...I am an ever changing person who can doubt all and speak this doubt or show it in my behaviour, but her love finds it's way in me...and I love her beyond measure..

i think that this is an amazing poem and it really makes you think about love

it's a good poem its the way love really is. i give major props to the writer. "que chido"

i think in this poem what Pablo Neruda is trying to convey is the feeling of frustration of loving someone who does not love you in return

Pablo Neruda loves to contradict himself in his poems. I absolutely love his style; his diction is so simple yet eloquent. He loves to write about the women in his life, and I think this one is making him crazy. It as if once he moves one she does something to make him fall for her again. It such a true to life experience that almost anyone can relate to.

I really loved this poem of Pablo Neruda, the words that he uses in his poem I can really relate to now in the stage in my life that I am going through right now :)

There is no reason to love, there are a billion reasons to love. Try to stop loving, try to start. Unreined, will not be contained. Except because, I do not, I do. Saddle up! (or not) and be taken.

i looove this poem one of my favorites...flippin emo too!

well i am not trying to be mean but it didn't make no sense sorry but i think is cool

I'm a reader from North Korea and i feel this poem has shown too much about painfully love

this is such a beautiful poem that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. to experience love is to understand Neruda's words, because love can be at most part be a contradiction. beautiful...beautiful...

It is often said that there is a thin line between love and hate. I think this poem also covers that idea. The ones we love may also be the ones who have the capacity to hurt us, yet we still find more reasons to love them at the end of the day. Love is the most ironic and confusing of all emotions. It requires us to be weak and strong at the same time, to give up and have more, to love because of and in spite of.

It's killing!! How helplessly we sometimes wish that we never loved someone so selfish and insensitive. We wish love to go away and it refuses to fade even by one shade. The agony is endless. There's a glass wall between love and hate.

this poem is wonderful ...i really like it ..it is based on the truth and shows how lif is in love...
well done Pablo Nerudo

hola ! espero que me entiendan aunque no lo creo jajaj Pablo Neruda Es lo Mejor porque si es chileno es bueno ! jejeje ya chao

This is such an exquisite poem. It's translated, and it still sounds so amazing! The power love holds over a person leads to hate. I see the thin line.

The pomes was vrey deep, and true to me becouse I was in love before I find my soumate 3 year ago. The man was go out with some one eales he

This poem is very true I have been there in love and still am I hate her so much but I know that if she came back I would be waiting with open arms.

This poem is what many of our young people are going through today. Love and hate at the same time .He expresses his feeling through writing it and this what I think of us should do instead of holding it in .Write a poem or a letter to exress yourself

"and i do..." so sayeth. IF i only had Neruda's girt for written words.. The poem reflect the agony of loving..

I felt a squeeze in my heart when I read this poem in an early morning. It touched me deeply because it is how I feel at this moment! A very deep poem; I wonder if it is as powerful as in Spanish.

It's all about love.
Love makes us happy. Love makes us sad.
No matter what it is, we always want it.

the poem is awesome.... Pablo Neruda given a great message about love how (boy/girl) are mad abt it and waste there lifes around it but still fell in love no matter if (boy/girl) betray.. but still open there heart for them and only them....

he would accept me back with open arms, yet it is he who left me. i thought he wanted me back. what a fool i was. just a trap to keep me alive, but for what. he is with her now, and i am still stuck here with orders to stay away.

Ur poems are touching.....feels so good n sad too when I read ur poems. Keep up your good works!

There is nothing but love.
I love you all too in the New Year 2006.

Very beautiful poem it takes perfect words right out of my mouth and places them perfectly. I love it. Its amazing!!!

To me, the poem isn't about love between a man and a woman. It's how we all fall in love with a feeling, with love itself. Sometimes we think we are in love, but in fact we are in love with love, with the feeling of being in love. It's about our fear of being alone.

This poem, by far the greatest I've read until now, is not about falling in love with someone in particular. It expresses what each and every one of us experience or at least would like to experience: the state of mind and spirit that makes one depend entirely on the loved person's love. We all need to love and be loved in return and most of us, I think, will live their life and try making it better for the sake of LOVE!! It's quite unnatural what love does to a human beeing and to its senses and this poem has just the propper words to describe this state and also the natural fear of losing the purpose of life: LOVE; because in this world nothing lasts for ever...

This is a great poem but the best ones of Neruda are in spanish it is really fun the way the english speakers have difficulties to understand the poems when the poems in english are the neruda's simplest poems.

I was wondering if anyone knows some history about this poem. I am writing a paper on it and I want to know what year he wrote it or anything else that could be useful. If possible write me back on email but if not then just respond.

What type of expression [[ i.e - similie , metaphor ...]] is the line in the poem " My heart moves from cold to fire " PLEASE HELPP !!

i love this poem so much!!!!!!!!!!

This poem is the greatest one out of all poems.Love it,

This is specifically talking about an unnamed person and feeling of loving to hate and hating to love someone and still loving that person because you spend so much time hating them. Its basically a paradox of love and hate and how they shouldnt live together but still do. It is a great poem by a widely controversial poet, I love it.

the translation have some imprecisions, but still conserves the essence of the poem...
i always loved it, but is better in the original language

i really dont like this poem pablo neruda's poems are better in spanish

tu ers el mejor poeta en el munda mucho respeto para ti cuando esta mas grande quisieras ser como tu
