20. Love Poems and Songs of Despair by Pablo Neruda. First published 1924 Randy Bachman Narrator Tonight I can write the saddest lines right, for example, the night of story and the stars of blue and 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 the nights like this one, I held her in my arms. I kissed her again and again under the endless sky. She loved me Sometimes 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 due to the pasture What does it matter that my love could not keep her? The night is story 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 is lost her My side tries to find her as though to bring her closer. 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 and others She will be in others, as she was before. My kisses, her voice, her bright body, her infinite 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 soul is not satisfied that I lost her, though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last versus that I write for her.
