I’m fine,
But I’m not.

I’ll be ok,
But I won’t.

I’m not hurt,
But I am.

I forgive you,
But I don’t.

It’s no big deal,
But it is.

I don’t care,
But I do.

It’s alright,
But it isn’t.

I love you,
But I’m not so sure now.

I understand what you mean by not knowing the whole story, I didn't really make that clear in the poem enough. I might try to revise this one, just because I also feel it's a little unfinshed. I also tried to write it with a little mystery because my feeling were confused. Thanks for the advice though! :)

I really like this poem. I want to know more though. I want to know what happened to change the person's mind. The last two lines were seemed like such a cliffhanger! There's so much more I want to know and I don't really think this poem is complete. However, I do think this is a great start. Keep Writing :)
