Someone Who Is Someone

When someone -
let us call him he -
commits stuff that
you do not agree with;

when someone -
er, he -
is the one you love
but cannot tolerate;

when someone -
whom you quite love -
is detested, by you,
but, well, is indulged a little;

is still the someone -
whom you detest but put up with -
who continues to be
a revered part of your life;

will someone -
the one you love -
remain, continue,
and mourn bitterly now you have died?
