Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example,'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.
This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
Pablo Neruda

We, my group and I, have used this poem as the theme of our music video...
It turned out great and painful...
Great because we'd gotten an excellent grade..
And, painful because the whole poem is about someone who loved a person who will be for someone else...

I first heard this read in a radio station...
I fell in love with this piece of work...
I cried and that was my reaction...
Because I think the guy just wanted for their love to work...
I know how hard it is to write...
When your heart is broken apart...
Especially in a blank paper so white...
When you know that the one you love whom you are apart...
Is residing in the arms of another...
Which is supposed to be your arms and shoulder...
Thus, if you can write the saddest lines..
You must've truly loved her all this times...

Es 'She loved me, and sometimes I loved her too.'
me fascina como es directo con lo que trata de decir que es facil identificarse con el poema.

I love this poem, and reading it's a very inspiring poem to me. Could I just ask that whoever put it up is careful with their typing, 'soul' is spelt 'sould'. I know it's picky, but please it's something I would really appreciate. Cheers.
