Iam not good with finding what a poem is really about so can anyone me find the meaning of this one?

i think its a girl denying her love for someone else

i do not love thee

by caroline elizabeth sarah norton
i do not love thee! —no! i do not love thee!
and yet when thou art absent i am sad;
and envy even the bright blue sky above thee,
whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad.

i do not love thee! —yet, i know not why,
whate’er thou dost seems still well done, to me:
and often in my solitude i sigh
that those i do love are not more like thee!

i do not love thee! —yet, when thou art gone,
i hate the sound (though those who speak be dear)
which breaks the lingering echo of the tone
thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.

i do not love thee! —yet thy speaking eyes,
with their deep, bright, and most expressive blue,
between me and the midnight heaven arise,
oftener than any eyes i ever knew.

i know i do not love thee! yet, alas!
others will scarcely trust my candid heart;
and oft i catch them smiling as they pass,
because they see me gazing where thou art.

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, the muttering retreats of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels and sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: how is this excerpt an example of dramatic monologue? the narrator is using long, interconnected sentences. the narrator is able to see into two character's heads. the narrator is addressing the audience directly. the narrator is jumping from one topic to the next topic
