When Intimacy Changes into Indifference

When Intimacy Changes into Indifference 

Time just flows past 
And you never notice 
Till subtle changes come bubbling to the surface; 
When intimacy turns into indifference. 

Time just flows past 
And you never notice 
Till your close friends just drift away; 
When intimacy turns into indifference. 

Time just flows past 
And you never notice 
Till people who supported you in tough times just disappear; 
When intimacy turns into indifference. 

Time just flows past 
And you never notice 
Till one’s cross feels too heavy; 
When intimacy turns into indifference.

Why do I love" You, Sir

"Why do I love" You, Sir? 

480 

"Why do I love" You, Sir? 
Because— 
The Wind does not require the Grass 
To answer—Wherefore when He pass 
She cannot keep Her place. 

Because He knows—and 
Do not You— 
And We know not— 
Enough for Us 
The Wisdom it be so— 

The Lightning—never asked an Eye 
Wherefore it shut—when He was by— 
Because He knows it cannot speak— 
And reasons not contained— 
—Of Talk— 
There be—preferred by Daintier Folk— 

The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me— 
Because He's Sunrise—and I see— 
Therefore—Then— 
I love Thee— 

Emily Dickinson
