It's been a long time since he has waited after college by the canteen with those sunken bright eyes There have been times when I had to lie to others in order to help you people spend some quality time. And now when we see him lying about his state, his feelings, his emotions, both to us and himself, it hurts. Maybe he thinks way too much about you but denies to accept it. He's weak, weaker than before and afraid of losing it all again. He has developed this weird fear of intimacy and attachment which I know, has been bugging him since your departure. No bones on you my friend, as I never had anything to do with you but me being his to go person, and I can’t see him breaking up so soon. Someone who would stand by the guy "you do not love anymore".
