I love the way you make me feel,

I love the way you laugh,

I love the way you always make a big deal,

And I love how when you get a drink, you always share half.


I love the way when I do something dumb, you always raise your eyebrow,

I love that you don’t live in the past, but only in the here and now.


I love how you are always there for me, especially when I am sad,

I love the way you’re on my side, even when it’s not good, it’s bad.


I love how we always try to plan a perfect date,

I love how you act like all you feel is hate.

I love you but I wish you could see,

That the only thing I hate about you, is how you are with a loser like me.


I hate myself for not giving you all I can,

I hate myself for forgetting to hold your hand.

I hate myself for letting you down,

I hate myself for getting nervous and not making a sound.


But there is one thing that I love about me, and I swear it’s true.

And it is I love myself for hurting me, rather than hurting you.
