cursed
and perfect
we blurred lines
between

the gravity
of lyrics
heightened
with every meeting
and every parting

still i love
still i hate
you deeply

Love is such a big emotion, that it can include both love and hate, and still be love.  Ironic.  Enjoyed this!

(big hugggssssss) You have just said what my second favorite song ever is, dearest friend, it is absolutely beautiful because though the harmony is light and smooth, there is a whole catharsis of emotion flooding the song, both through the wailing riff and Bono's honeyed vocals that make every true rock and roll fan cry! (wipes tears) This is beautiful, sweet friend, U2 is legendary, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you

Love,
Noah Eaton

Raph- Definate U2... This write makes the song that much more enjoyable.

We are all equal but we’re individually different

You scare wind.
I know that's not easy,
so this poem must be given an A
for awesome.

I don't know the lyrics
or the song

but it has impact
all its own.

I have sometimes thought it is required, to hate some one we love.

Well written Sir Poet.

still i love
still i hate
you deeply

oh you have captured my mood today exactly.

its crazy to think you truly can feel this kind of limbo towards someone.

you know, i don't really like the song. it reminds me of the cheesy scene from friends where ross and rachel are splitting up. it's playing in the background. every time i can see ross's pathetic puppy dog face and the rain outside rachels window. and i don't even watch friends that much, so this is not fair!
