she asked me
what the opposite of love was
and as anyone would, i said "hate."
but she shook her head,
smiled a bit
and replied
"no,
hate is not the opposite of love,
indifference is. because
no matter the amount of hatred you hold for a person,
you still hold feelings towards them.
indifference, however, is the lack of
feeling anything at all. indifference
is what hurts."
and it took all of my power to try to
keep myself together because the way you left me
made me wonder if you hated me or
if you simply stopped feeling
anything at all.
