the two of us

were not born to the same life

.

we were meant to be

opponents, enemies

not comrades in arms

.

i was supposed

to hate you

and you hate me,

but neither of us

were ever any good

with following directions

.

not that i will admit it,

but i fell for you

from the very start

.

my pride got in the way

and it seemed

that all i could say

was "you drool in your sleep"

.

i'm the first to admit

our rocky start

was mostly my fault,

but i knew,

oh gods how i knew,

you were the one

.

not just the hero,

the no good son

(of poseidon)

who i would do my absolute best to hate,

only to love

.

and it scared me.

.

it positively terrified me

so i fought it

like i fought every other thing that was not right

.

and yet here we are

.

despite everything saying no no no,

we still went on with a yes yes yes

.

i have no regrets.

(i think this is what we call love

((but hey, what do i know?))
