well depending on the time Neruda wrote this poem you can tell for whom it was.The 100 love sonnets was dedicated I think it was regarding his third wife which he had an affair with when he was with his second wife. I really love this poem in every one of his poems he demonstrates such truthfulness of what he is feeling.

Pablo Neruda, through this Love Sonnet,transfers his varied intense emotions of LOVE to everyone of his readers / listeners. It is not through words, metaphors, style, or thoughts, meanings, views and interpretations . It is by Neruda's magical touch of sounds & vibrations. We read, go about,search and look for meanings until we feel the exact emotions coursing through us.
What is love? A word? A thought? An idea? A fantasy? No, it is nothing but an awe-inspiring fusion of hearts & feelings ... an emotional experience. The last two lines sum it up.

I know exactly how Pablo Neruda was feeling when he wrote this beautiful love sonnet.
When he writes "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul."
He is refering to a secret love. One that he has to keep to himself, within himself...yet a love so strong and binding that nothing else can measure up to or compare to it.
He did not just sit down and write this sonnet for the heck of it. He wrote this while feeling all of those things and unlike most of us he found a way of putting it on paper.
This isn't a sonnet about new love or married love or age old love.. it's clearly a sonnet about a forbidden love so strong that it reaches into him and pulls out everything he's ever known... or not known about himself and what he believes real love would feel like.
I understood and could feel every word of the sonnet.

Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

It's possible if you're a great poet like Neruda, otherwise I guess you'd just stumble along like the rest of us. Love is love.
