hate verses love

They always hated eachother...until they didn't

• • •

Red crayons and hair pullings in kindergarten became stolen science projects and harsh slaps in middle school . The punishments morphing into suspensions and detentions.

Silly pranks during summer camp and snide remarks in the hallways.

And then as time grow longer as did they, her body changed, as did his. Where she became soft he became hard, a rougher voice and a tougher body.

However the feud never ended, not when they were studying, not when they weren't, fights for valedictorian and prom royalty.

As time stretched so far the reason for our hate became hazy but the hot feeling in their chests never stopped.

It only evolved at every interaction, every slap, every barge.

Until it stopped. Until they moved and grew even taller and further away from each other, the burning withering but leaving a scorched hole.

Until..until...until.

Until now.
