You can hear it in their voice. They don’t speak to you with the same tone as they used to. They go hours without answering you, when they used to be just a text message away. They don’t try anymore. Their eyes lose their liveliness. Their forehead creases over and looking down at the ground, they rub their temples when they talk to you. Their words become jumbled with things to say about other people who aren’t you and other things more important than what you had.
Go ahead, forget me. I just don’t want to feel it.
