PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I love how blunt and to the point this is

my Dad once gave me advice I live by today. I had just broken up with my frist love and was so upset and angry I inisited I hated him. My father told me "no you don't you love him" I fought with my Dad maintaining that I did indeed hate the guy and he said "there is a thin line between love and hate. Hate is nothing more then love felt hurting. When someone you love hurts you and you still love them you don't know what to do with all the love, feeling it hurts, so you take it and turn it into anger, hate. Hate is simply love gone sour and if you can know that and ride it out, when the pain goes away the love will be back" he was right, the guy and I are now best friends, my life would not be the same without that friendship, and though it was hard to ride through the hate and come out okay again, that remians my fav bit of advice I have ever heard. It really has changed my relationship to emotion and words.

hope your hate turns out love again one day

thanks for writing a poem which reminded me of that awesome memory :)
