I don’t care anymore. I say it like a mantra under my breath while I brush my teeth, while I drive, while I pretend your name doesn’t still echo in quiet places. I don’t care anymore. You’re just another person in a world full of people. Just another voice I used to know, another face my memory will eventually file away with everything else that once mattered. At least that’s what I tell myself. I tell myself I don’t notice when a song reminds me of you. I tell myself I don’t wonder if you’re thinking about me at the exact moment I’m trying not to think about you. I tell myself that the space you left behind isn’t something I still reach for in quiet moments when the world slows down. I tell myself I’ve moved on. That my heart has learned how to close that door. That you’re no longer a thought I carry around like something unfinished. I say it again firmly this time. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care anymore. I don’t- And then the room goes quiet. And in the silence between the words I realize something my voice was trying very hard to outrun. If I truly didn’t care, I wouldn’t have to keep convincing myself.

I Don’t Care Anymore
I don’t care anymore. I say it like a mantra under my breath while I brush my teeth, while I drive, while I pretend your name doesn’t still echo in quiet places. I don’t care anymore. You’re just another person in a world full of people. Just another voice I used to know, another face my memory will eventually file away with everything else that once mattered. At least that’s what I tell myself. I tell myself I don’t notice when a song reminds me of you. I tell myself I don’t wonder if you’re thinking about me at the exact moment I’m trying not to think about you. I tell myself that the space you left behind isn’t something I still reach for in quiet moments when the world slows down. I tell myself I’ve moved on. That my heart has learned how to close that door. That you’re no longer a thought I carry around like something unfinished. I say it again firmly this time. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care anymore. I don’t- And then the room goes quiet. And in the silence between the words I realize something my voice was trying very hard to outrun. If I truly didn’t care, I wouldn’t have to keep convincing myself.
