The Opposite of Love

I sit next to them, you probably do too. Or at least you talk to them or see them around. The indifferent. The people who could care less (or more) about life. They could settle for less or just be average, it doesn't really matter. Because they are indifferent. They could care less about having their life changed or living life in this full embrace of intimacy and adventure. They have never felt the butterflies in their stomach or the true sensation of fully being loved. They have never known someone to care or someone to give them boundaries. The indifferent weren't born this way, but they've just settled somewhere between their passions and their rejections. They've felt safe in the grey, no disappointment but no expectations. Just pure emptiness. You see, indifference is the opposite of love. And it's the worst place to be.
