What I Hate About You

By daria_lost

I hate the way you smile at me
and how it makes me feel
I hate how you make me laugh
and how you make me cry
I hate how comfortable I feel with you
and the way you look at me
I hate the way you hold my hand
and the way you touch my back
I hate the way you drive
and the music that you like
I hate how stubborn you can be
and how you don't back down
I hate that you read the same books as me
and how you know me best
I hate that we can discuss anything
and how you respect my opinion
I hate how safe you make me feel
and how you tell me what to do
I hate the way you make me see the simple things
and how they seem so big
I hate this hold you have on me
that keeps you on my mind
I hate that I don't hate you
no matter how hard I try
I hate the way I love you
and how I always have
I hate that I can't tell you this
and all the reasons why

    Bella speaks the truth, but then, I know how the situation can be a thorn in your side. This was true poetry, and the thoughts expressed are perfect examples of how love can rain on your parade. Paramount. I enjoyed. One thing though. I think you left out a word from that fifth line down. Write on.
