INDIFFERENCE

$
0
0
They say romantic love must be
manufactured by poetry,
in songs, and such. 
It doesn't really exist.
We've all heard this, and after some thought,
I think it's true.
I know someone's reading this and it better be you.

There is the indifference I feel,
and in those cases, love certainly isn't real.
Yet indifference makes me mad with romantic love.
The only difference 
is now it's your indifference;
it's your indifference I feel---
and then---isn't that funny?---love is real. 
I know someone's reading this and it better be you.

Yes, there are moments when attraction is mutual,
but that's because of sex---that's not romantic love.
Indifference is obedient to something more profound.
It has something to do with the Doppler effect,
the memory of someone disappearing. And sound. 
I know someone's reading this and it better be you.

The amount of indifference in the world is positively astounding.
It protects our feelings. 
Plus the world is vast, enthusiasm is limited.
What do you think of my indifference theory?
Tell me how it's false. Or give voice to how it's true.
I know someone's reading this and it better be you.
