I Do Not Love You

Pablo Neruda

    	
      I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You by Pablo Neruda
      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.
