I looked into his eyes.

There was nothing there.

When asked, “Do you love me?”

No reply;

Just a blank stare.

After some thought

He said, “I’m not in love with you,

But I still care.

It’s not you;

It’s me.

Whenever you need

I’ll be there.

I’m sorry.”

My mind was so confused.

How could he?

Our love he forgot.

So, for me

The question, it seemed,

Would always remain;

Can not or will not?
