Ten Things I Hate About You

I hate your self-righteous belief that you not only know better but are absolutely right. When you took my son you were dead wrong, and I can't forgive you for it.

I hate the way you always win - even when we don't fight.

I hate all the others you have to fight for you, fight with you - protect you. I trust no-one but myself. And that used to be enough, until I met you...

I hate the loyalty you inspire in your People. It makes me feel guilty that I'd sell out everyone I know - if the prize was right.

I hate that your emotions make you weak, make me care - and that makes me weak.

I hate that you tell lies too but nobody is calling you the bad guy. How are my lies worse?

I hate the way I can't stop thinking about you. It used to be about ways to defeat you, to get inside your defenses so that I could kill you. Now they are different thoughts...

I hate how good you look - I'm not supposed to notice.

I hate it when you're not around - life seems dull without you. And how screwed up is that!

I hate the way I might actually, more than a little bit, be maybe falling in love with you...

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

I hate the way I don't hate that, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all...
