Exceptions

Except for when I am pissed at you.
Except for when I want you to shut up.
Except for when you hurt my feelings.
Except for when you lie to me.

I hate you.
For all this to go away.
So would our affection.
The gestures that show you care.

All those times
Those wonderful memories
Whenever you do that
That is when I love you.

Except for when I have to run after you,
Except for when I have to constantly reassure you.
Except for when I have to correct you.
Except for when I have to hold your gaze.

I would hate for all this to go away.
Casue if it did.
So would our affection.
Those gestures that show you care.

All those moments
Those beautiful flashbacks
Whenever you need me
That shows I love you.

To hurt me.
You love me back.
To heal me
You love me back

I love you for who you are.
I love you no matter what.
Except for when you do not do those things
Except you do that all the time.

So I know you love me always.
As I do you.
Just so I can say it.
I love you too.
