It’s not as though love never passed between us
In fact, there was a time when your eyes sparkled for me
But the years choked that flame to a flicker
And now you simply refer to me in affectionate terms
I was once the object of your undying pledge
But now, there is only the occasional acknowledgement
There may be ‘no hard feelings’
But neither are there tender ones
Some would say that I should fight for you
But I wonder who I might assail
After all, your affection wasn’t stolen from me
It was given away
For love to be real
It must be free to go
And for love to last
It must choose to stay
The absence of love is not hate
It is indifference
