What is the meaning of I do not love you except because i love you by pablo neruda?

Answer 1

This poem talks about the way a person love someone who's somehow not part of their life anymore. "Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you is that i do not see you but love you blindly". It also gives the idea that the person is hurting and fed up waiting for his/her love one. The theme of this poem is that true love never die. Like the feeling expressed in this poem when you love someone for real then it's forever. In the last verse it says: "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." This little part to me means that the love that he/she had for someone is so strong that he/she would do anything for it. Repetition of the word love Figurative language The words die, blood and fire means something other than their literal meaning. The mood-in love and dark because author mention word die, cruel and hate.

Answer 2

This line from Pablo Neruda's poem suggests a paradoxical love where the speaker loves someone not for superficial reasons but because it is intertwined with their very essence or being. It highlights a deep, sincere, and unconditional love that goes beyond conventional explanations, revealing the complexity and depth of human emotions.
