10 Things I Hate About You
I hate the way you make me wait, with promises so thin,
And how you always seem to know just how to reel me in.
I hate the way you smile at me, it melts my every plan,
And how your laughter rings so true, no matter where I stand.
But most of all, I hate the way, you make me love you still,
Despite the tears, despite the fears, my heart you always fill.
Conflicted Heart
I hate the way you say goodbye, like it’s a simple thing,
And how you never seem to know the pain your leaving brings.
I hate the way you hold my hand, it makes my worries cease,
And how you look into my eyes, my heart’s unrest to peace.
But more than this, I hate to miss, the love we share so true,
For every flaw, for every flaw, it’s all I want in you.
The Contrast of Us
In your eyes, a tempest brews,
The things you do, the paths you choose.
Your stubborn pride, your biting wit,
A fire inside, I can’t admit.
The way you laugh, the way you scorn,
These flaws I list, the heart feels torn.
Yet here I am, through nights and days,
Bound by love, in twisted ways.
For every fault, a charm conceals,
In hate and love, the heart reveals.
Ten things I hate, and yet adore,
In this paradox, forevermore.
The way you leave, then turn around,
Your voice, your smile, that haunting sound.
The quiet moments, the loud debates,
This tangled dance of love and hates.
I hate your silence, the words unsaid,
The restless nights, alone in bed.
I hate your absence, your fleeting stays,
Yet crave your touch in endless ways.
