You

I hate this world
It’s a terrible place,
Filled with terrible people.
but, when I met you, I
realized that since the
world had you in it, maybe
it wasn’t so bad after all.
You make up for all
The hateful people, you
make up for every horrible
thing the world has shown me.
My love, you are
Certainly one of a kind.
