Sometimes, this is how the story goes...
I'll tell you how it happens.
You meet someone. You click. You become friends, maybe best friends. You stay in contact.
Things happen. You become different versions of yourselves. Your priorities change. You realize you can't catch up. You try to be there for each other, but at some point, you're just too tired and you realize you aren't being given what you need to grow. So you drift apart.
It isn't always the story though. Sometimes, it's like this.
Same beginning. Different ending. Sometimes, people start to treat you different from how they used to. That means your value to them change, which causes you to feel undervalued. Then it hits you -- what they're doing. So you stay away. Then when they miss you or something about you, they try to reconnect but you're already trying to move on. So you give excuses. You start to undervalue them too. Then before you know it, you're no longer constant parts of each other's lives.
Again though, it isn't always the story.
Sometimes, through ups and downs, through thick and thin, some people stay.
Sometimes, those who leave return and you realize you want to welcome them back so you do.
Sometimes, you meet someone who wants you to stay in their life so they make sure you know. And isn't that really what life is all about? To figure out how someone means to you, where you want them, and let them feel accordingly.
Because the truth is... People need validation.
You and me. Me and you.
And if we don't get that, we hurt.
But there is also another point. Sometimes, despite what is not seen or heard, words aren't needed. Because the actions are already loud and clear.
I read this next part from somewhere --- different words but the same meaning --- That some people don't need to hear you say the words [i]I love you[/i], not when your actions couldn't have spoken it clearer and they already know you do.
