why can't i hate you? maybe because im still in the shirt i wore when you held me so tight i could feel it for hours after and i could still smell your perfume? maybe because when i put my arms around myself all i feel is your arms? maybe because when i lie down on my side i hear a heartbeat that isn't mine, one that isn't really there? i can't hate you.
