what they mean to say when they break your heart

what they mean to say when they break your heart
by steven dondlinger
When I say I don’t love you
I mean you aren’t special. You are
like any other person on the street.
You are both unimportant
and unattractive unless I am
1. drunk
2. lonely
3. far away from home
In which case, you are comforting at best
but only when I am feeling insecure.
That is why I have decided to tell you this.
I am interested in other people, because other people
are more interesting to me. Time has dulled
our love. I have put this off
for a long time, and if I don’t say this now
we will have to get married.
