Please forgive me, friend,
For my indifference.
I always think of you,
But the storm cloud of circumstance
Has overshadowed me;
My blue sky has been concealed.
I do not intend
To tear your heart in two;
You've got to know I still care.
My once-carefree spirit
Has been snatched away
By the burdensome tasks of Reality.
This alleged indifference
Stems from the natural instinct
To defend;
Don't think I've walked away
And forgotten our frequent nights
Of depth and unmasking.
Don't be under the impression
That I can turn away so easily.
This straight-faced front
Is merely a shield
For the heart inside
That truly loves you.

Yes....Yes!!!! This is so well-put that I had to read it several times, my friend! Oh, indifference is so much a part of our lives, but you pointed out that it's just a cover, and what's underneath are real feelings. Wonderful writing...loved it!!

Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
