To know love is to know hate,
it is to love someone and understand
everything about that person.
Their most intimate and dark secrets.
It is for them to understand how much you have done,
the money you have spent and the times you had fun.
So much that after the last straw,
you allow that person to break the law.
You love them enough to hate them,
the things they have done to you,
the emotional rage they have put you through,
the physical pain and torture they have gave to you.
I know you have to love someone enough to hate them.
Author notes
OPTION 3:
give me a mix of both... a love for someone that turned into hate, or hating someone that loves you, vise versa... or a hate that is sooo strong that it really is love inside...
