‘LOVE WENT COLD,’when

When destiny and fortunes took different turns and ways & when interests differed after maturity, and when personalities & characteristics articulated themselves finally, love went cold….

When you & others , at last, discovered yourself /themselves & could not laugh at inane jokes or in partaking gossip, rumor-mongering and idle talk, or could not join ‘the club’ where arrogance and disdain for other humans reigns superior, love went cold gradually and eventually evaporated…

When you or that other person could not join the group or men (boys) in the local pub and rather choose (your) freedom and fun in ways different from what was common and what others(/most) preferred to do in the pub or darts room, love undoubtedly went cold…

When you declined a friend’s or relatives’ invitation(s) to worship at their places of worship, opting to safeguard your faith..  & to guard your heart and to test the spirits as directed by the Holy Spirit in His Holy writings, love went cold…….

When you could not afford to lend out cash to a kin, family member or even a friend and explained your situation, with difficulties, and the borrowers chose to refuse to believe your word, and even when you recall that some of them (“the borrowers) had refused to pay back or even feigned to have totally forgotten whether they repaid the cash or not, love got and became very cold !

When a new neighbor and recent acquaintance humbly borrowed your farm tool (a hammer to be precise) through a family kid and you allowed the kid to lend it out and you later forgot all about it and when you needed to use the item and then you struggled and recalled that someone had borrowed the item and then you sought to reprieve it back and the new acquaintance denied ever having borrowed the item and later admitted to having borrowed but also insisted having returned the same on the material day…. And even later insisted having returned the item direct into the kid’s hands and the kid also confirming not having received the item (and with this scenario losing your only hammer), then love definitely was forcibly turned damn cold…

Love went cold as well when an acquaintance or neighbor met you impromptly and by chance and on the spot invited you to an event that was happening on the material day in their dwelling spaces and you explained that you had already planned your day.

When you met a total stranger who started trying to endear him/herself to you and even pretended that he /she had a cure for an evident skin condition that you live with and you decided not to be cheated or possibly be taken advantage of, love went south and eventually cold……

Up to date love still goes damn cold for so very many reasons and for so many unknown reasons…

Love evidently gets cold for the bubbly…. When they enter PSVs in high spirits and pass greetings to their immediate neighbors and the innocent, sincere greetings are met with cold responses and ‘i don’t care’ stares…..OR no words in response & cold, ‘do I care stares’ or even ‘don’t disturb me’ mien… 

At entrances to public & private spaces, warm, innocent and sincere greetings are responded to with/ in terse, short cold responses, ‘and by the way how can I help you or where are you going?’ stares…

It is no longer known why, when, how, &  where love went cold…also Which factors forced love to get so very cold?
