Question

Well, now,

if little by little you stop loving me

I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly

you forget me

do not look for me,

for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,

the wind of banners

that passes through my life,

and you decide

to leave me at the shore

of the heart where I have roots,

remember

that on that day,

at that hour,

I shall lift my arms

and my roots will set off

to seek another land.

But

if each day,

each hour,

you feel that you are destined for me

with implacable sweetness,

if each day a flower

climbs up to your lips to seek me,

ah my love, ah my own,

in me all that fire is repeated,

in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,

my love feeds on your love, beloved,

and as long as you live it will be in your arms

without leaving mine

Answer 1

I think the poet is saying that as long as she loves him, he will love her. If she ever stop loving him, he will do the same to her. So it's sort of like whatever you do to me, I will do to you. Hope I helped a little.

Answer 2

"Do unto others as you would do unto yourself." Basically, as the other two answerers have stated, if his lover doesn't love him, she shouldn't expect him to love her either. But if she does love him, he will surely love her. The second stanza is talking about what he will do if she doesn't love him, the third is what he will do if she does.

Answer 3

If you forget me, I will forget you.

But if you love me, then I will love you back.

That's what I think.
