You’re not the type of person to be mean. But you’re definitely not the type of person to be nice. You’ve used my kindness as a crutch before. You’ve done things just to humor me. You take advantage of the fact that I care about you. You don’t want to commit to being my friend, But you don’t want to be strangers, either. You don’t show your feelings. Because of this, your true emotions are only evoked through repeated questioning. That’s how I found out that you do feel. You do care that people are around you. But if I ever left your side, You wouldn’t show it. So I would never know whether or not you actually cared.
