I hate you. I hate you because I fell in love with you. I hate you because I fell in love with the real you, and not just some idea I had of who you could be. I fell in love with your soul, The complete essence of who you were. How you were so confident in the goofy human you had grown up to be. I fell in love with your soul Before we even held hands, Before we ever touched, Before I could stop myself. I fell in love with you without even kissing you. I hate you because I fell in love with you, And because I havenβt stopped. -ALC March 21, 2018
