Unstructured and unsure
Informal and “open-minded”
The antithesis of everything you stand for
But you love it
You love me because of it
Strict and formatted
Specific and selective
The characteristics that constitute
what I’ve always labeled a condescending snob
But I love you
I love your honesty
We disagree
on the very interests
that we share so passionately
But we agree on this
Love is the one emotion
that surpasses all differences
that lives on despite opposition
that survives through conflict and confrontation
Love is powerful
its strength reaching far beyond
our opinions
and far beyond our differences
