I Do Not Miss You When You'Re Gone

I Do Not Miss You When You'Re Gone

I do not miss you when you're gone
   My sleep, ever so serene, from dusk til dawn
   When the bough of bond between us breaks
 There's no part of my beating heart that aches

       Whenever a soul mentions your name
     I can assure you, it doesn't spark a flame
     When you trail off like contrails in the sky
  You're so far gone; invisible in my mind's eye

        I swear, your goodbyes are never sad
      And I never pine for you, not even a tad
Lonely moments and cold nights never seem long
I'm free, soaring with wings so sturdy and strong

  Each time you depart, and hours fly; all is fine
  Never mind this coldly indifferent heart of mine
  It's made of steel and stone, and feels nothing
   for you; nothing at all. But who am I kidding?
