"Hate isn't the opposite of love. Indifference is the opposite of love. Because if you hate, you still care."

It's easier to pretend I don't
love you
When you're not around

It's easier not to
hear you
When you don't make a sound

It's easier to let go
of you
When you're not holding on

It's easier to accept
You're leaving
When you're already gone
