We have lost even this twilight.
No one saw us this evening hand in hand
while the blue night dropped on the world.
I have seen from my window
the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.
Sometimes a piece of sun
burned like a coin in my hand.
I remembered you with my soul clenched
in that sadness of mine that you know.
Where were you then?
Who else was there?
Saying what?
Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly
when I am sad and feel you are far away?
The book fell that always closed at twilight
and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet.
Always, always you recede through the evenings
toward the twilight erasing statues.

I can feel the needing in these words. The confusion of what the other person is doing. It brings many emotions to me. Thank you for sharing it

why is it that we are always reminded of 'them' as soon as the sun goes down?

This is my favorite poem of Neruda. It encompasses the whole world of what it feels like to miss someone that you love beyond all reason. This is the most beautiful sentence ever wriiten 'Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly
when I am sad and feel you are far away? '
