Love and hate

Love and hate. 

Love and hate. Or hate and love.

I love your face… but hate tears on your cheek.
I love your hair… but hate the way you changed it.
I love your legs… but hate the tattoo on your heel.

I love your smile… but hate your laugh.
I love your cooking… but hate your spaghetti.
I love your romance… but hate your slow dancing skills.

I hate your slow dancing skills… but love your romance.
I hate your spaghetti… but love your cooking.
I hate your laugh… but love your smile.

I hate the tattoo on your heel… but love your legs.
I hate your new hair… but love your old one.
I hate the tears on your cheek… but love your face
 
All the things I hate about you I love. 
And I fell in love with you more. 

Love and hate. Or hate and love.
