I imagine perhaps this is what it feels like. When I tell him I've missed him because the feeling hits me suddenly, or the memories, or the loneliness. And he texts back right away with a message of support and promise. And when it's the other way around, and I'm just not feeling it, and I'm a little grossed out by emotion in general or feeling nothing at all, I even hesitate to text back. And when I feel this way about this other guy I cannot help but think about it for hours that turn into days. And when I do text him, it sounds corny and cryptic and heavy and not deserving of any sort of reply. So I guess he must feel the way I do. Or not care that much, or at all.
