You taught me more than just how to dance... You showed me cruelty. Peeled off the cover of reality and showed me meaning. You wore a mask to blend with the crowd And hid your vulnerability. But alone, I saw piece by piece who you were. A child, negative and unsure. Your passion burned over your regrets. You were a man of ignorance and understanding And joked on things that were immature. You made me feel special and not. You confused me and gave me butterflies. For that I hate you... And until now, I still try to convince myself that I do. How could I forget when every aspect of this world repeatedly reminds me of you? Chills runs through my spine when your name reaches my ears. And even in silence I still hear your voice. If only I could just forget. If only we had of never met.
