The Way

The way your voice cracked when you laughed

The way your dimples appeared when you smiled

The way your hand perfectly intertwined with mine

The way you looked down into my eyes when I spoke

The way your hand felt on my back when we hugged

These are the memories I long to remember

Now all I'm left with is the unpleasant memories of

The way you spoke to me when I tried to be honest

The way you yelled when I defended myself

The way I cried silently when you walked away without looking back

The way I had to pretend to be alright

The way you pretended we had never been anything more than friends

The way I carried around a fake smile for six months

Lastly,

The way I fell apart when I realized the reason you left me because of...

The way you loved another girl

Now my mind can only remember one thing

The way I hate you
