Love writes a letter and sends it to Hate   "My vacation's ending, I'm coming home late.   The weather was fine, and the ocean was great,   and I can't wait to see you again."      Hate reads the letter and throws it away   No one here cares if you go or you stay   I barely even noticed that you were away   I'll see you or I won't, whatever      Love sings a song as she sails through the sky   The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes   and everyone knows it whenever she flies   and also when she comes down      Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street   Every stranger and drifter he greets   and shakes hands with every loner he meets   with a serious look on his face      Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow   Carrying with her the good things we know   A reason to live and a reason to grow   To trust, to hold, to care      Hate sits alone on the hood of his car   Without much regard to the moon or the stars   Lazily killing the last of a jar    of the strongest stuff you can drink      Love takes a taxi a young man drives   As soon as he sees her hope fills his eyes,   but tears follow after at the end of the ride   'cause he might never see her again      Hate gets home lucky to still be alive   He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive   The clock in the kitchen says 2:55    and the click in the kitchen is slow      Love has been waiting patient and kind   Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign   that the one she cares for who's out of his mind   will make it back safe to her arms      Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door   weary head hung down eyes to the floor   He says, "Love I'm sorry"   and she says, "What for?   I'm yours and that's it, forever"   "I should not have been gone for so long   I'm yours and that's it forever   You're mine and that's it forever"
