Dislike the Liked

Dislike the Liked

There are reasons why I dislike you
But there are no reasons why I dislike you
Let’s make sense out of non-sense
I dislike you because I like you

I hoped to find the evil in you
You showed me none
I hoped to find infidelity 
You showed me none
I dislike you because I like you

Maybe you would envy me
But you don’t
Maybe you would slander me
But you didn’t
I dislike you because I like you

This is why she calls you
This is why I never see her
This is why she needs you
This is why I feel anger
This is why this text is written
I dislike you because I like you

I was never perfect
I was not as helpful
I did not give her that attention
I hate you because you love her
