There's a lot of things I really hate about you.

I hate that you can make me laugh,
Even though I need to cry.
I hate that you undertsand me,
Because that means my walls are going down.

I hate that you talk to me,
And then walk away.
I hate that you touch me,
And pretend that's okay.

I hate how you smile,
Because it's shy, and your not.
I hate that your smile's lopsided,
Because mine is too.

I hate your hazel eyes,
Because their goddamn pretty.
I hate your slim frame,
Because I'm not
And I think that may be a problem.

I hate that everything I hate about you
Is everything I love about you.
I hate that I can't write about you,
Because everything's cliche
And been said before,
So how am I supposed to get your attention
With my award-winning originality
When I don't even know how.

Most of all, I hate that girl your talking to because her name isnt mine.
Been gone on a trip, here's some cliched stuff about well you know, stuff.

ANyway, enjoy. Maybe even laugh, cause I am.

Um... this poem described me uncannily. That's a little eerie.

Anyway: been there, done that (still doing that...). I'm sorry you're feeling this way about someone. <3 If you need someone to talk to, I'm here! It's a beautiful poem, and I love how well you portrayed the feelings that go along with these words.
