A friend of mine sent this to me in High School, I have no idea who wrote it, but it started
"Your kindness is no kindness now"
about a ex-sweetheart still being sweet, and how that is worse than being mean
kind of like "don't let me down easy..."
Thanks!

KINDNESS
Your Kindness is no kindness now;
It is unkindness to allow
My unkind heart so to reveal
The difference that it would conceal.
If I were, as I used to be,
As kind to you as you to me,
Or if I could but teach you how
To be unkind, as I am now,
That would be kindness of a kind-
To be again of a like mind.
-Catherine Davis.
I found this on another webboard but can't confirm the poet. It sounds like the poem you were looking for though.
Have a great day!
Exactly! THANKS SO MUCH!
