Traces of Smoke
I dislike  you.
 I dislike that odd jacket you always wear; the one with the holes in the sleeves, created by the droplets of fire we find during late nights around a blazing bonfire. I bet I could still find small traces of smoke hiding in the folds of the fabric,
 if I cared.
 I dislike the way you drive, speeding past stop signs and children on bikes. I really don't understand why that one song reminds me of you
 and the time you took me to the city so I could sit on my favorite bench.
 Your hands are so rough.
 I can't stand the feeling of security that comes with each touch, like sandpaper to the skin.
 And I really can't stand that I cannot hate you, or anything you do.
 Anything about you.
 Believe me, I've tried.
