The cynic's monologue

(Monologu i cinikut)

I loved you,
      I love you no longer!
            Worse can happen in life.
There are those who remain lovers
                  until they grow old,
There are those who are lovers
                  for but a month.
I loved you,
      I love you no longer!
            You were born to suffer,
                  so suffer!
I am an honest man,
                  I respect the truth.
There are those
      who do not love
            but lie
                  all their life.
I am straight to the point
            and blunt in tone,
I tell you
      "I don't love you"
                  on the telephone!
