No. I haven't recently broken up with someone.
And no, I am not still in love with my ex.
But to quote one of my favorite lines ever - 'The opposite of love is not hate... the opposite of love is indifference.'
How many people can honestly say that they feel absolutely nothing for someone they were once in love with? And I mean, nothing.. zilch... complete indifference.
Is that even possible? To not feel anything for someone who was once the reason behind your unexplained smiles. Someone whose absence caused you an almost physical discomfort. Someone who you could just talk to for hours or just sit across and not talk for hours.
So when we say we are 'over' somebody, are we ever really telling the truth?
Because if, as I suspect, we aren't telling the truth, doesn't every love last a lifetime ? ..... At least a fragment of it !!!
