"10 things I hate about you"

I hate* the way you say you'd do 13 hours on the ferry just to be with me,

As if the miles between us didn't matter at all.

I hate* the way you promise you'd bring me grapes if I was sick in the hospital

And how you always want to hug me when I'm feeling down.

I hate* how you love Converse just like me,

And the way you drink our beloved booze as if it was plain water.

I hate that I like you so much that I'm constantly apologizing for my paranoia, that I only have because I can't afford to lose you, in any way, after all these years.

"I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry.

I hate the way you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call
But, mostly, I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
