I Don't Love You

When I say I don't love you,

I will try to mean it,

Specially when I ask,

How was your day,

And tell you to give me the longer version of your answer.

Specially when I send you reminders,

For random, mundane things of life,

Without you telling me to do it,

And secretly hoping,

You're not annoyed by it.

Specially when I explicitly say,

I don't love you,

Half convincing you,

And half me,

Making my heart believe,

That I, really don't love you,

Even when everything else might suggest otherwise.

I hope you believe me,

Because I have started to mean it,

Specially when I say,

I don't love you.
