I love you even when I hate you

I love you.

I put up with your fuss

your dirty nasty behavior.

I look at you with ridicule

most days.

Some days you make me hate you

but I can’t let go,

you horrible

need

you.

You cost me money

time

energy

focus.

But there you are

covering me with warmth

taking care of my bad days

cheering me on when all else fails

I may cut you down

cut you out

cut up on you

but

you must know the truth…

no woman is quite satisfied with you

We need you completely.

Yes, we look at everyone else’s with envy.

Yes, we wish ours could be the exact opposite.

This may have started off rough

but what I’m really trying to say

is that,

well,

I appreciate you

I want you in my life

I want to embrace you fully

I want to take the best care of you.

I want you to know,

at least for now,

that I love you.

Yes, new hairstyle

I like you now.

I mean,

I love you.

I’ll try to fix my attitude

because

you deserve better.

yours truly,
