I saw your photograph
And a thought crossed my mind
Something that I didn't want to think
Even though the thought is kindIn your face I saw
A smile so true
A face so pure
I was shocked that it was youAnd though I tried
To tuck the thought away
I remember how pretty you are
And how we were a little gayI didn't want to think
That you are pretty
And I didn't want to think
That you aren't shittyBut the thought crossed my mind
An unwanted truth
That no matter what you did
I can't hate youI wish I could
Say that you're rude
And that you're ugly
Say you were crudeBut I've lost all hope
In trying
To hate your smile
That made life seem inferior to dyingI'm supposed to hate you
Well, at least I tried
I'll try again next time
And on until I dieBut I must rid myself
Of your picture and your face
Because if I cry over a fool
I'd be a disgrace
