I hate you
And I love you
And I hate myself for loving you

I ask about the best part of your day
And you answer with goodnight

We used to stay up for hours
You'd tell me stories
I'd laugh into the pillows

I got so stupidly happy the other day
Someone asked you
About your favorite song
Off of the Hozier CD
And you turned
Asked me what mine was
So ******* stupidly happy
For the moment
You cared what I thought

Because every time I ask you
To tell me about your day
Inbetween the words
Always that I care
Care for you in a maddening way
That you stopped
Must have stopped
Every time I ask
And your only answer is goodnight
