And I can make it more complicated.
I can make it more about how I loved
you, you hated that I loved you, I loved
you so I hated that I loved
you with you, I never hated
that you hated that I loved
you, but I hated that I loved
you because you hated

it, until I hated
it, until I hated
how I made it—that I loved
you with what you hated,
until I hated why I loved
it, not you, but all of it.

NOTE: “Catullus 85” is a slant translation of the titular poem.
