you’ve got the option to not hate someone you first did not love.

You hate them because you loved them, and you lost them.

I hate you.

The details of what happened between us are complicated, as they usually are.

Because despite what I had said, that was the last thing I wanted.

I wanted him to feel nothing but love from me, for me and for himself.

To me, this meant he was completely detached from love and hate.

He simply didnt care one way or the other.

He could take it or leave it, and he chose the latter.

All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotionsfear or love.

In truth there are only two emotions…

Fear grasps, love lets go.

Fear rankles, love soothes.

Fear attacks, love amends.

This is the only way I can explain it, why I could I feel love and hatred simultaneously.

My hatred resulted from fear as well as love, almost a convergence of the two.

And when I knew he I was loosing him, all I wanted to do wasattack and harmhim.

Ironically, this was my desperate last attempt to hold on to him.

Clearly, none of this is black and white.

The moment you pledge you highest love, you greet your greatest fear.

Enough time has passed that hatred is not what comes to mind when I think of him.
