But, Because

            I love you, but I wish you were more responsible,

I love you, but I wish you’d clean up more,

            I love you, but I wish you’d cook dinner once in a while,

I love you, but I wish you’d help out sometimes,

            I love you, but I wish you behaved more grown up,

I love you, but I wish you were more like your siblings,

            I love you, but I wish you weren’t like your father,

I love you, but why can’t you be better.

I love you, because you are responsible,

I love you, because you obsessively clean,

            I love you, because you make delicious food,

I love you, because you help out so much,

            I love you, because of how mature you are,

I love you, because of your accomplishments,

            I love you, because you can’t fail,

I love you, because of how good you are.

            I love you…

                                    But I hate myself…
