Just because we love
Doesn’t mean we love love
Our stomach is not always bulging with butterflies
But sometimes knots of
Worry, jealousy, anger
Yet we can’t hate love
We can only hate hate that’s in love
But if love had no hate
We would never be sure
If it were really love at all

The author's comments:
An exploration of the hate that intertwines with love. The idea that we need that hate to have that love. Is it really love if there is no hate (anger, jealousy ect)there either? It's the strongest feelings of hate that makes the Love seem even stronger.
