What is Neruda saying about the love he has for his beloved in lines 9-11 of Sonnet

17?
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way”

Love takes work.

His love for her comes naturally.

Love is hard to find.

He would be lost without his beloved.
