Once upon a day in school
A boy to a girl said I love you

Replied the girl so happily
I’m much too young, you can’t love me

Once in the summer one day at the pool
The boy to the girl said now I love you

Replied the girl so sinisterly
We aren’t alike, you can’t love me

Once at dinner, he knelt down with a phew
Said the boy to the girl, can’t you see I love you?

Replied the girl with a shocked look of glee
Oh, I love you too, I’m so glad you love me!

Once a few years later, when he engaged a dual
Said the boy to the girl, An affair?! I hate you

Replied the girl with a touch or misery
I hate you too, and now you hate me

Once then and there, after words that were cruel
Said the boy to the girl how can I not hate you?

Replied the girl to the boy, with a grrrrr and a reeee
I think I love it, when you hate me

Once after that, when he sat down and was cool
Said the boy to the girl, I think I love that too

Said the girl to the boy and the boy to the girl
When love and hate are one, what’s with this weird world?
