Your Own 'Tu'

I know you're such a pain in the ass, but I still love you anyway.

I know when you need advice, you'll come running straight to me. No problem, I'm here for you—do whatever your heart desires. When you mess things up royally, I want to grab you and give you a good kick, but I'll still save your skin, no worries. Even if the whole world turns away from you, I'm here for you—just come to me!

When you go shopping, the sight of you irritates me to no end, but I still give you my time because I love being with you. The way you wander around shopping for bargains, going from store to store—ugh! Makes me want to slap you! But then I think, well, your happiness is my happiness! Even though it drives me crazy, I never say a word to your face!

You can't even handle momos with red chili chutney, but I still coax and convince you to eat them anyway. When the heat gets to you and your ears turn red from the spice, I hand you the water bottle. I love recording all your antics on my phone. Later I tease you about them.

Sometimes you dump all your pent-up anger on me. Who said what to you, who you can't stand, who you want to badmouth, what you want to do with your latest crush—I know it all. You're not even embarrassed telling me all this stuff! The fact that you're not embarrassed is exactly why I love hearing it. I've memorized everything from listening to you go on and on. If you don't tell me your secrets, who else will you tell?

You share everything with me. You're such an idiot—sometimes the stunts you pull make me so mad. I feel like grabbing you and beating some sense into you. But you know what? I end up finding logic even behind your most ridiculous actions. Hanging around with you has turned me into an idiot too!

When I look at you, only two thoughts cross my mind:
A troublemaker like you deserves to be shot!
Without you, my whole world would be cut in half!
