How Could I Not Love?

How could I not love the rain
when every drop sounds like
every syllable of your name
that plays better than sunlight?

How could I not love the dawn
when it was like a short grasp
of that love we used to know
and so much better than dusk?

How could I not love darkness
when it was where I met you
and where my dreams started—
way better than the light I once knew

So how could I not love even if I don't want to
when the more I pull away, the more that I want you
