It would have been so easy to love you.

You came into my world and turned it upside down. You made life interesting. You made me see things differently than the ways that I had been taught. You made me question myself and the order to find truth. You showed me what passion was.

For all this, I could have loved you.

But you also showed me that there is darkness in this world. Darkness that I cannot dispel, no matter how I try or pray. Darkness I have found in myself. Rage. Jealousy. Sorrow.

For that, I must hate you.
