That Boy

She hated that boy
The one with the smirk
The one that would tease her
With his charm and his quirks

She hated that boy
The one who knew her so well
Who knew every smile
Each dimple and frown 

She hated that boy
In a non-hateful way
Just like a scar
That would not go away

Then one day she found out
That she had it all wrong
It was love and not hate
She had felt all along

So when asked if she hated him 
She answered, “I do”
Unwittingly, she would said them
At his wedding too.
