The no-reasons of Love by Carlos Drummond de Andrade

The poem:

I love you because I love you

You don't have to be a lover

and not always know how to be one.

I love you because I love you

Love is a status of grace

and it is not payable

Love is given freely

it is sowed in the wind

in the waterfall, in the eclipse

Love runs from dictionaries

and several regulations.

I love you because I don't love

Enough or too much me

Because love is not swapped

nor conjugated nor beloved.

Because love is love for nothing,

happy and strong in itself.

Love is Death's cousin,

and of the death, winner

Even if they kill it (and they kill)

in every moment of love.
