Remains to be Seen

Remains to be Seen

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

I hate you

I love you

I loathe you

I need you

I despise you

I want you

Make up your mind

You can’t have your cake and eat it too

At least, that’s what they say

Or can you?

Can you make these contradicting feelings work?

Can you use the bitter

To make the sweet sweeter?

Can the pain of one

Make the other more pleasurable?

Is that the way it’s supposed to work?

Is life one continuous contradiction?

I hope not

I don’t want to hate you

I don’t want to loathe you

I don’t want to despise you

I want to love you

I want to hold you

I want to touch you

I want to feel you

I want to smell you

I want to taste you

I want to hear you

Can you want the same things of me?

Can we dispense with the bitter

And just enjoy the sweet?

That remains to be seen
