Hatecrush

The big thing left for me to do
Would be to reconcile with you
But staying as you are, forever mad
I’d say that’s also okay
It’s passionate in its own way
To be your hatecrush isn’t bad
You mattered more than anybody
There is no-one else like you, and I should know
I’ve scoured the world
Your pleasing face, your pleasing form
Your tastes so far beyond the norm
And though you live across the sea
You’re still so deep inside me
When I think about the world I see your face
Your genetic Venn Diagram, Malaysia and Pakistan
Was something immigration could do
But now we’re living in an age of borders and baricades
And there’ll be fewer made like you
And though you live across the sea
You’re still so deep inside me
When I think about the world I see your face
And though perhaps you hate me now
I know, or I suspect somehow
There’s something we both hate more than that
The world in which people who
Combine to make a girl like you
Are crushed before they meet
And though you live across the sea
You’re still so deep inside me
When I think about the world I see your face
