I Should Hate You.

I should hate you, but I don’t,

Even though you left without a trace,

Moved on without us,

Let us think that you were dead.

I should hate you, but I don’t,

Even though you ran away,

Chased out by secrets and lies,

Left without a chance to explain.

I should hate you, but I don’t,

Even though you turned us away,

Afraid of the life you left behind,

The sorrow and the pain.

I should hate you, but I don’t,

Because you are here now,

Back where you belong,

Tougher and stronger than you ever were before.

I should hate you, but I don’t,

I could never hate someone like you,

Who gives us strength when we are weak,

And never gives up when times get hard.

I should hate you, but I don’t,

Even though you gave up once before,

But now you have made amends,

And I know that you will never let us down again,

You will keep on fighting until the end.

I know that I should hate you,

But how can I?

When I have nothing to hate you for.
