10cc - I'm Not In Love....1. FRIDAY WRITINGS # 213 ...LOVE/INDIFFERENCE 2. TANKA TUESDAY Challenge #50


SHADORMA

 
tis not true 
your indifference
betrays you 
you're in love  
some say it is worth the pain
others say no way

time to heal 
it is not easy 
it takes time 
tears are spent 
start afresh bearing no grudge 
sweep it all away

  2. I find it is much more productive not to carry old relationships into new ones.

  3. It's not easy, but best to move on if possible.

  4. Rall - you capture that "tug-of-war" between the external mask of indifference and the internal reality of heartache so well 🙌

  6. Tears while bearing no grudge meant true love but lost to me.

  7. I am sort of glad there is always a safe a pace - a place to keep us gently alive and aight inside! Jae Rose

  8. if tears were't able to carry away the pain downstream then was it even worth to spend those tears ...

  9. Love does have the annoying habit of showing up whenever it wants, whether we're ready or not
