“I Hate You”

"I hate you"

appeared on the message screen.

I recoiled

Didn't know what I had done

"That's very cruel"

I quickly pressed 'enter'

She didn't reply for two days

I waited forlornly

Then she finally said

"I don't care"

My heart clenched

But I finally typed back

"Why?"

It was a question

I needed to know the answer to

Why?

"Because I hate you"

"You, everything about you"

Out of nowhere, this pops up

I thought she loved me

"You've made me do too many wrong things"

"Too many times"

I blink.

It's hardly my fault

"I hate you"

Tears prick my eyes

I type back

"I love you too"

Two days later

I get word of a girl

Who's run away from home

To hide somewhere in Asia

I know

It's her

But why would she do that?

Why?

The answer comes

A few days later, after she's gone

"I hate you so much more than words could ever describe"

And so she left me for another

So unfair

Never believe when others pacify you by saying that life is unfair

It can be fair

But oftentimes it isn't

I wish

Life was fair

Then I could still see her eyes

Touch her hair

But now she's gone

Forevermore

And I won't

See her again

Do I deserve this pain?

Send a question to the heavens above

And wait a million years for an answer
