I never stopped to think. I never needed to.

I can come over. I can tell you jokes, stories, or just listen. We can watch a movie, eat dip, and talk about our day. Or sit around the fire and give each other advice.

You can go ahead and tell me how you feel about anything at any given moment. We can relate to each other on multiple levels. One of us might even feel a connection to the other.
It won't be me.

I'm playing a role. Not because I don't care. I do. Because I know it's what you need from me in that moment.
