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.

Pablo Neruda
