The Indifferent

I like you careless 
Never bothering to think “what if”
Never bothering to give a damn about the people 
Never upsetting yourself over the tiring thoughts of them 
I like you blunt 
And cold to those who try to aim fires at you 
And the only visible emotion is indifference 
Hard to touch 
And seemingly so very unmoved
But most of all
After months of patience 
Days of holding up with all the indifference 
I like it when I burn through those icy impassive walls of yours
I like it when I make you feel a little fiery 
And you can learn to love it when you burn 
You can see it through my eyes
And whenever you are vulnerable 
Depressed and homesick 
I see how little things matter to you 
And my heart softens a little more for you 
And you become everything I need to fix
