I hate the way you talk to me And the way you cut your hair I hate the way you drive my car I hate it when you stare 

I hate your big dumb combat boots And the way you read my mind I hate you so much that it makes me sick It even makes me rhyme 

I hate the way you’re always right I hate it when you lie I hate it when you make me laugh Even worse when you make me cry 

I hate the way you’re not around And the fact that you didn’t call But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.

Beau Taplin
