one way you know you care about someone

[burntlimbs]

is when you don't have to talk for weeks, months, years
but you feel the same way you did when you first started talking to them
and nothing has really changed, even though your life has drastically

and a way you know you don't
is when you don't talk to a person for a day
and when you start talking again, both of you sense a difference
life doesn't necessarily have to change in that one day period
but something does

feelings become more clear with absence
always.
