it's the things i shouldn't love about you that i love the most.

it's the way you swear,

the blood

running through you, so different to mine.

how you can hate so passionately.

how you are passionate,

period.

how you can love so fiercely despite everything wrong with the world

weighing on your mind.

it's the things that are different about us that bind us together.

it's how i fight for the light

and you fight for the dark,

but they are the same thing,

somehow.

and how you don't give a damn

when i couldn't care more.

it's the way you see me and my mistakes

whereas i just

blur out your past

like it never existed.

it's how i shouldn't love you,

but somehow,

i do.
