The 10 Things I Hate About YouA Poem by ally westfallYou know you love someone when you can't even hate them for breaking your heart.I
hate it when you look at me with those beautiful blue eyes, That
sparkle even in the darkness and completely hypnotize. I
hate it when you smile, that loveable child-like grin, And
then you try to kiss me by grabbing hold of my chin. I
hate it when you laugh and make the bad days less gray, And
when you tell me that you’re here for me and that it’ll all be okay. I
hate your curly hair that bounces as you move, And
even more when your song comes on and you try to groove. I
hate that I called you kid even from the start, But
you always told me you loved it and that never failed to melt my heart. I
hate it when we’re mad and you call me after a fight, And
when that conversation makes everything feel alright. I
hate it that we’re different, yet similar all the same, Because
that’s what makes us perfectly imperfect, which is not at all a shame. I
hate the way you make me feel when I don’t feel pretty at all, Because
whatever you say always manages to pick me up after I fall. I
hate it when you write me letters, your handwriting all askew, Though
checking the mail is the best, even though I get so few. I
hate it when you’re right even when I say you’re wrong, Even
if the disagreement is about the lyrics to a stupid song. I
hate it when you read to me on the telephone at night, And
take away my sleep even though your voice helps me to sleep tight. I
hate it when our nightly facetimes go on into the morning, And
how you let me call you before my 7:45 even without warning. I
hate it when you tell me old hockey stories, like the ones from your old
school, Even
though I find them fantastic and not the least bit uncool. I
hate how we both love sports and our teams are in a feud, But
let me tell you one thing, it’s worth it because of you, dude. I
hate that you’re insecure, that you don’t always know your worth, Because
you’re here to be the best version of you on this happy place called Earth. I
hate that you don’t think that you’re good enough even though I’ve told you so, But
trust me when I say, I’m beyond proud of you and all the places that you’ll go. I
hate the way you support me and never will back down, Even
when I say silly things and sound like an absolute clown. I
hate when you said you loved me for the first time on the phone, And
I can’t explain my heartbeat and my joy as my mind was completely blown. I
hate it when you cuddle me and we watch scary movies, Even
though I never cared because you fulfilled your amazing boyfriend duties. I
hate when you’re not with me, I hate when we’re apart, I
hate when you chose to walk away and completely broke my heart. I
hate that you promised forever, yet that day may never come, Because
you decided it was over, and that stung like the sunburn on a beach bum. I
hate that I can’t hate you, no matter what was said, Because
the truth of the matter is, you’re still all that I think about as I lay in
bed. But
the thing I hate most, out of everything that I’ve written, Is
how you still make me love you and that I’m completely smitten. © 2016 ally westfall |
