Sometimes, I mistake hate for love.
Both feelings are so strong
And can grow and shrink the same.
That's why I thought I still loved you.
I'd loved you for years,
And I thought that any feelings I had
Would be love for you.
I was confused because I'd only ever loved you
So this new feeling I mistook for love.
It grew and shrank.
That's the reason why
I felt nothing when you last kissed me.
I'll come to terms with that someday.
For the past few months,
I thought what I felt was love,
And I thought I would have to forget about it,
But now I know I already did.
I've been living my life
Trying to forget that I love you,
But what I really need to do
Is learn how to live hating you.
