Wait. We are the same.
We live, we love, and we dream.
Why do I hate you?

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

Oh I did not see that ending coming🫢 well done and great question
Of course I love this so much!!!!
This is a powerful Haiku! I love how you mine the incongruent hate of the other for such an elevating poem. Great writing!
Great job! That last line was the make-it-or-break-it moment and you nailed it. Had you said, "why do you hate me?", it would have been a different, lesser, poem.
Sometimes we just don't know the answer to that, do we? Loved your Haiku!
That last line is a gut punch. Really, really well done.
Great question
