„I hate you. "

Those words ring in my mind.

But I can't help but to think.

That maybe I don't hate you back.

That maybe you don't hate me either.

Though that's just a maybe.

But your words are for real.

No maybes.

Just hate.

Even as you say it every day.

I can't help but to wonder, why I feel like this.

Why can't I just hate you?

Just like you hate me.

I wish I'd hate you.

So I'd have no regrets.

When I curse you.

When I beat you.

But I do have regrets.

And I hope.

Only hope, that you don't hate me either.

But that's a lie.

And I know it.

But I still hope.

Even, as I hear those words again:

"I hate you."
