I Hate You

I hate the fact that I love you
I hate your beautiful smile
I hate that you knock down my guard
I hate that I miss you once and a while
I hate that I can see the stars by looking in your eyes
I hate that you're the cause of my lows and highs
I hate the fact that at night you're my last thought
and the first when I wake up, before sunlight is caught
in my eyes, I hate that about you too
I hate that you make me weak, and I don't know what to do
I hate the way you look at me, removing worry from my mind.
I hate that your touch feels so soft and genuine.
I hate how each caress takes me further from this place.
I hate the way your voice throws me into a daze,
I stay lost and confused.
I hate how you do that too.
I hate your walk, with each step you take.
I hate your confidence, and how it grows at my sake.
I hate most things, that come to mind when I think of you,
But the thing that I hate most about you, is the fact that I love you.
