How can we hate yet feel this other way?
I hate that he’s reckless and rude
  I hate that he always gives me attitude
  And I hate that somehow I can’t stay away
Are we not convinced our feelings won’t sway?
Please do not allow me to intrude
But I am trying hard to allude
I think we want and need to love today

Someone to lean on when times are cold
A smile brighter than the stars
Eyes that stare so deep into a soul
Opening up about your battle scars
That once far fetched tale of growing old
Don’t let love be something put behind bars
