Hate or Love

From the moment I opened my eyes,

I regretted it, regretted waking up

Though you were someone I despise

Why won't this fast heartbeat stop?

In reality, you made me cry

But in my dreams, I was smiling

In my mind, why do you have to pass by?

Your presence, it left me shaking

At that time, my heart to you I bared

To me you whispered "I love you"

A hug, a kiss, a touch we shared,

Like it was the most natural thing to do

But everything has come to an end

It was just a dream, just an illusion

You're back to not being my lover nor my friend

I know it's time to stop this confusion

But why do I feel sad now?

Why do I want to fall asleep again?

Is it really hate I feel or somehow-

Is it love and for you I've fallen

The CHAR poem

Outside, I could hear the rain drop ceaselessly

The umbrellas bright colors a contrast to the sky’s grey

With hurrying steps, people walk towards their destination

Whipped by the icy wind, they shiver and shudder

But from where I stand I feel only warmth

The raindrops noise drowned by the lively chatter

I wonder why the sun seem to shine in here instead

Powered by our smiles, strengthened by our laughter

This bright glow I owe to you my friends

For being with me through the storms – in one sense or another

Sitting on our beds, sharing our thoughts and ideas

Every single memory a priceless treasure

My almost-sisters, I’m glad to share my college life with you

Our Majors, our readings, our exams – we’ll pull through this

Smile my dear Chars for it’s nice to marvel

That our joys are multiplied not only by two but by five!
