The Good and the Bad


When you love someone

You love all of them

 

You love the way they smile

at you or at nothing

 

You love how they get excited

over big and little things

 

You love the way they talk

to you or to themselves

 

You hate when they get mad

with you or with anything

 

You hate the way they ignore

either you or the world

 

But when you love

You love all, the good and the bad

 

I love the way you smile

At me

 

I love how you get excited

over little or big things

 

I love the way you smile

at me or to yourself

 

I hate the way you get mad

 at me

 

I hate the way you ignore

Me

 

But I love you,

the good and the bad

 

Because I love you,

and You love me
