POEMS FROM THE HEART

I Could Never Hate You

You broke me. 

You threw me on the ground without realizing it and shattered me. 

Five months is a long time to spend with someone. 

Many memories, moments.

I wanted to hate you so, so bad, but when I tried, it just made me worse. 

I left for weeks, then came back eventually. Even then I still tried to hate you.

I avoided you. Walked past you like you were nothing to me. 

But no matter how hard I tried to hate you I couldn't.

All those times that I said, "I hated you." I didn't. 

I would catch you staring at me from across the room.

Tell me darling, were you thinking of all the memories? 

Or were you trying to plan revenge for just leaving the way I did? 

I came around eventually. 

I was nervous, like the first time I approached you when you and I first met. 

We started talking again. 

Laughing so hard to where we had to gasp for air and hold our stomachs. 

It felt like the old times. It felt good to be laughing this hard again.

But darling, do you miss me? Or the attention? 

Neither of us know what love is or what it's like. 

But maybe we could try again. 

Experience it for ourselves.

Let's just stay friends for now, and see who falls hard first, all over again.
