#Poem "I love you" #PabloNeruda

I love you,
I love you in some inexplicable way,
in a shameful manner,
a contradictory way.

I love you
with my many humors
and mood swings
so you know.. the time, the life, the death.

I love you
with the world that I do not understand,
with people that do not understand,
with the ambivalence of my soul,
with the inconsistency of my actions,
with the inevitability of fate,
with the conspiracy of desire,
with the ambiguity of the facts.

Even if I say I don’t love you, I love you!
Until I deceive you, I don’t deceive you
and in my soul, I’m carrying out a plan
to love you better.

I love you without thinking, unconsciously,
irresponsibly, spontaneously,
involuntarily, instinctively,
by impulse, irrationally.

In fact, I have no logical arguments,
even improvised,
to substantiate this love that I feel for you
and that mysteriously appeared from nowhere,
that has not magically solved nothing
and miraculously, slowly, with little or none,
has improved the worst that is in me.

I love you,
I love you with a body that doesn’t think,
with a heart that does not reason,
with a head that does not coordinate.

I love you incomprehensibly,
without wonder why I love you,
without matter why I love you,
without questioning why I love you.

I love you simply because I love you,
I myself do not know why I love you.
