A Change of Heart

Sometimes
you make me so angry 
I never want to look at you
ever again

But i know
I would not be happy
without looking 
at those eyes

Sometimes 
the jealousy sweeps over me 
and I never want to talk to you
ever again

But i know 
I would not want to 
stop hearing
the sound of your voice

Sometimes
I see the way
you look at 
other people
and i want them 
to go away forever

But I know
that I could not do that 
because it makes you happy
and that makes me happy too

Sometimes
I just want to leave you 
for all the bad things
that you do

But i know
I could not leave you
for my heart
would long for you every day

Sometimes 
I want to erase you 
from my mind 
never to be thought of again

But i know
the thought of you
would linger in my mind 
and i want it to
I don't want you to fade away 
ever

Sometimes 
I want to leave 
because i know 
you are bad for me

But i know
my eyes 
will always look at you
as perfection 

Sometimes 
I want you to leave 
because i know
Im heading for a heartbreak

But i know
I wouldn't mind
It would be a privilege 
to have my heart broken by you
