Inspiration – movie: 10 things I hate about you

I hate the way you talk to me and the way you wear your hair.

I hate the way you express yourself, I hate it when you amaze me.

I hate your leather jacket, and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me write.

I hate it.

I hate the way you always agree with me.

I hate it when you share my point of view.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around,

and the fact that you didn’t call.

But mostly I hate the way I no longer love you.

Not even close,

not even a little bit,

not even at all.

Because of all the things I’ve learned to hate about you,

I’ve unlearned to love you.

My love for you extinguished,

like trees in a wildfire.

It burned down over time,

until no tree was left standing.

Now, I no longer love the things I hate about you,

but I hate the things I loved about you.
