he’s just not that into you…  
  
It’s been a week since I’ve heard from you  
Sweet words of love  
Of tenderness  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
While men in desirous parts of the world  
Beg my attentions, pour on me affections,  
Pull for my presence, promise me peace  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
I suffer long, lonely days alone, abused still  
By absence, by affliction, by the remnants  
Of maltreatment banished  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
And wonder, worry for your beauty  
Wonder, worry for my own…  
Reminded by your native enemies…  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
No sweet words come at last  
No fond words of affection  
No desire to be present…  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
But, even my white kitten comes,  
An angel's silent steps and passionate  
Love-bites to remind me of my own…  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
You’re just not that into me, are you?  
For, if you were, your words would spill;  
For, if you were, no harm could come…  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
for, if you were, you’d  
share words of peace,  
feather me with beauty…  
  
… just not that into me…  
  
… and I fade,  
  
my love burning like a pyre,  
my heart aching like a martyr,  
my mind begging for a champion,  
  
and I, abandoned of your touch  
bereft of love…  
  
he’s just not that into you…  
  
my eyes spill, slowly,   
yearning for the truth…  
  
*he’s just not that into you…*  
  
'til my heart breaks   
as I read your words:  
  
“… I’m just not that into you”
