I Do Not Hate You
No matter what I may say, I do not hate you,
I do not hate you, I love you,
And the only person I truly hate is myself
Simply because I thought you were different,
I thought you would stay and be there on my bad nights,
And I thought we would celebrate in the day
Because we were here, young, alive, and together
But you did the same thing anyone else would have done,
And for that, I cannot blame you,
I cannot be disappointed
In you or anyone but myself,
Because I expected you to stay.
