Unforgettable

"Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust: Hatred alone is immortal" – William Hazlitt

Its indifference AND disgust. An unforgettable look.

Initially I thought it was triggered by the incompetent sales attendant at the optician. Or lethargy. I turned around just as the face was turning away, as if a moment earlier it was facing me, with indifference AND disgust. The only incompetency was mine and the lethargy comes from looking at me.

It’s heartbreaking how a face you’d loved for so long becomes something you’d loathe so much in the end.

Utterly blinded by love. Too easily contented to look beyond those huge signs.
