not a love poem

by Sarah George

i thought of writing you a love poem
but i've a better idea:
a poem of indifference.

Forty years from now
i wonder how much i'll even remember of you
perhaps i'll catch a touch of a wiff of the scent of
your deodorant
and a brief glimpse of familiarity
will flit through my mind.

gone.

Author's Note: i found this years-old poem recently & realised i have no idea who actually inspired it :)

ah yes, sweet indifference. Sometimes a good middle path through some of the more complicated aspects of life :D thanks
