just one thought:
there are many different ways of loving someone/ caring about someone.

there are the friends that-

1. when you call them and they dont call you back you start wondering whether they find you annoying/ are upset with you/ dont want to talk to you
2. when you call them and they dont call you back, you call them forty times till they pick up cos you know they love you anyway.

which one do you treasure more. ? (my brain is a little scrambled now.)
