But you knew that. (go back »)

I hate you.

You're in here with me. I'm not alone. I should be alone, but I'm not. I know you know. You shouldn't know, but you do. I never have to say anything. It's already been said. And you know.

You push the right buttons to push me over the edge. You do it on purpose. I know you do. I know why you do it too. But you knew that.

You want me to be happy. You want me to do it on my own. I can't take the easy way out. You won't let me. Eventually the easy way would kill me... because that's not my way. And you know it. And you push the right buttons. And I know. And you know.

I hate you. Because you know and I can't hide it. If it were just me, I could hide it. I could hide it and I could be okay. But you're in here too. And you know. I know you know and you know I know. So how can I hide it? I can't. And I hate you. I hate you for knowing. But you knew that.

I love you because you know. I love you because you won't let me hide it. You won't let me take the easy way out. You will keep pushing the buttons. I love you for everything that I hate you for. And you know.

And I know I didn't have to say it. But you knew that too.
