Let It Go Poem by Lauren Miller

I only love in riddles and contradictions
Which makes it quite difficult to express
I only love with memories and pictures
Which in fact it makes me love a little less

If I were to tell you 'I love you' it would come out a jumbled mess
Strings of syllables that really make no sense
No comprehension of what I really mean to say
But I would still say it anyway

Only because I tend to say things that I don't understand
With the only hope being that you will comprehend
That you will use your cleverness to dissect the sentences
More correctly than I could

I say 'I hate you' and I say 'Hello'
But with a bit of effort maybe you could see
That jaded as I may be
I really mean 'I love you'
