Never stopped loving you

I never stopped loving you
That’s why I hate you
I really really love you
I really really hate you
I don’t really hate you
That’s how I know it’s love
The only thing I hate
Is I’m not who you’re thinking of
I hate that I love you
When you don’t love me back
Or take into consideration
My dark and ugly past
I know that you’ve been hurt before
I understand your pain
I would hold this umbrella
To shield you from the rain
Even though I know deep down
You wouldn’t do the same
So when I say I hate you
I say it in Love’s name
This heart is what I really hate
The cause of all the pain
I only hate the thought
Of never being your love again
I never stopped loving you
The only one I love
When I said I hated you
I only said it out of love
