If Only I Could Hate You

There are many things I hate, many more that I should, But despite this I can't, I really wish I could. It's the little things that get me mad, Like the way you always seem to make me sad. I hate the fact that I don't hate you, Trust me I've really really tried to. I hate the way you know me the best, You know all the answers and I'm the test. I hate the way you make me smile, Because that doesn't really ever last for a while. I hate it when you're there in my mind, I wish I could leave the memory of you behind. So many times I've tried to walk away, But that didn't really work as I'm still here today. You're one of the many things I should hate, But to me you're a better mate. You treated me better as a friend, So in a way I'm glad the relationship did end. I hate the way that I love you still, And the sad thing is I think I always will.

Thank you for the welcome, indeed human relationships are far from simple, although if they were we wouldn't have fun along the way :)

This is definitely an American love and hate relationship. You lover her so much that you hate to give up. Sounds like someone in our Congress. Saw hi to Terry Cooper of Basildon, Essex England for me. Jim Horn

The thing I like about this poem is you can interpret it however you want to depending on who you are. Despite it holding a personal meaning for me about my now ex boyfriend I never mentioned whether the person in question was male or female so anyone could relate. I am too English nice to meet you

That sounds like a great title. When I wrote this it didn't actually have one since I was focusing on the feelings so made one up quickly when I posted it. Thank you :)
