This is one of my most favorite poems about Love from one of the greatest romantic poets of all time....
Pablo Neruda
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.
For any of you have not read this mans works, this Valentines Day is a day to take the time and read some to the one you love... and most of his poems are written in both Spanish and English - so don't let language be that barrier. If you speak Spanish just think how much more romantic that could be....
