This is specifically talking about an unnamed person and feeling of loving to hate and hating to love someone and still loving that person because you spend so much time hating them. Its basically a paradox of love and hate and how they shouldnt live together but still do. It is a great poem by a widely controversial poet, I love it.

I was wondering if anyone knows some history about this poem. I am writing a paper on it and I want to know what year he wrote it or anything else that could be useful. If possible write me back on email but if not then just respond.

This is a great poem but the best ones of Neruda are in spanish it is really fun the way the english speakers have difficulties to understand the poems when the poems in english are the neruda's simplest poems.

This poem, by far the greatest I've read until now, is not about falling in love with someone in particular. It expresses what each and every one of us experience or at least would like to experience: the state of mind and spirit that makes one depend entirely on the loved person's love. We all need to love and be loved in return and most of us, I think, will live their life and try making it better for the sake of LOVE!! It's quite unnatural what love does to a human beeing and to its senses and this poem has just the propper words to describe this state and also the natural fear of losing the purpose of life: LOVE; because in this world nothing lasts for ever...
