I love you in order to begin loving you, to start infinity againand never to stop loving you:that is why I do not love you yet.

Pablo Neruda
About This Quote

When a person loves another person they want to love that person into infinity. They want to love that person into eternity. In order to do this, they feel the need to stop loving the other person as soon as they begin loving them. Because, as soon as they start loving this person, there is no way they could stop loving them.

So they attempt to stop loving them even before they have begun. They believe that once they have started loving this person, there is no way that they could not keep loving them forever. The idea of infinity and eternity is a huge part of the reason why people love one another.

It shows that their love is infinite and eternal, something that is boundless and everlasting.
