Love Poem: Concealed Hatred

Concealed Hatred

If I would have known
A very long time ago 
That you would hate me so....
By now...I would have let you go 
What is it about me 
That drives these emotions 
Of malice and envy
At the end I still question 
Did you ever have an ounce of love for me?
How can such emotions exist in the same space? 
I was too blind to see this on our first date 
There was never a dedication 
Because of your hidden hatred
Was always mistaken
