"No, my love, when I sang Ave Maria to wake you up to see you, when I complained about the peach fuzz on your chin, when I called you a ***** *** and that all you want is a hole to bone, when I teased you for the way you say "hackneyed," when I walked over to smell and "guess" your shampoo (I'd known already), when I let you cheat on games, when I made fun of the constant holes in your socks, when I decided to learn about baseball to figure out what so great about it, and when I smacked you on the leg with a spatula for getting cheeky with me in the kitchen... those were because I liked you.
But when I woke up two hours before you to make you breakfast, when I sing sad love songs to you in my imagination, when my tread skips a beat, when I got so angry that someone talked bad about you and I wanted to ******* rip their meaty heads off, when my heart breaks to hear your hardships, when I stayed up with you until 3:00 in the morning on the roof before I gave up or again until 5:00 in the morning indoors a week before you left when I didn't move away from you when our arms touched, when I learned you stood up proudly gay in this brave new world when I see you on an angle and you look so serious, so pensive, so handsome and I sigh, sigh, sigh from afar those were because I loved you.
