It would be easier to hate you
instead of listening
to songs we used to sing
on late nights
and long drives-
out of key
and fighting sleep-
with the streetlights
reflecting off your eyes.
And I knew we were perfect.
It would be easier to hate you
instead of clenching my fist
trying to hold wind.
In tight grips
the breeze slips
through my fingers,
but the feeling lingers
like remembering
to forget I remember you.
I knew we were perfect.
It would be easier to hate you,
but I don't want to.
