Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair

"I am no longer in love with her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long."

"Tonight I can write the saddest linesI loved her, and sometimes she loved me too."

"Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido."

"I wantTo do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."

"It was at that agethat poetry came in search of me."

"I am no longer in love with her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long."
