Tonight I can write the saddest lines-Pablo Neruda



In this poetry the author talks about the distance and a lost love, he mentions the memories he had about a girl, and the suffering he is feeling after she is gone. He tries with honesty to describe his emotions toward her in his loneliness. The time when he writes the poem is at night, describing his own sad and dark state “The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance.” He describes the intense of their relationship by saying “I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too,” admitting the deep feelings he had for her. Comparing this night with the nights their used to spend together he suggests that he wishes they would still be together just like the endless sky. The memories of her green eyes fallow him, saying that everyone would fell in love with eyes like hers. He is not with him, which again reinforces his suffer and the truth that she left him alone in a night like this, the reason why he is in a way disappointed from her. In the fallowing lines he conveys that even though he loved her in the past, now she is gone and he does not love her anymore. Still regretting to have lost her, and what makes it even worse is that someone she is now with someone ells in such a night when they used to be together. “Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before. Her void. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes. In these lines the author explains how much he adored her what he is missing in those moments the most, where the saddest part is that someone ells gets to enjoy her beauty. Through the poetry he compares the nature with their relationship “The same night whitening the same trees. We, of that time, are no longer the same.” He ends the poetry with doubts about his feelings, maybe he still loves her?” Love is so short, forgetting is so long.” The two last lines he expresses the wish to forget her and all the pain.
