Are We Still Close?

Hey, my friend,

When you care about someone deeply, there can be a worry that starts to grow inside you.

It is the worry that the two of you might drift apart over time.

You may still talk, share things, think of them each day, yet your heart might ask, “Are we still as close as before?”

This feeling can sit in your mind you even when nothing has actually gone wrong.

It happens because genuine feelings and care make us want to hold on, especially when someone means a lot to us.

Hence, when there is even a small change in the way you talk or connect, the mind starts filling in stories.

But not every change means the love is fading, my friend.

Sometimes life gets full, one person is tired, or the other is trying to handle a lot at once.

The way you talk can change a little when that happens, but the care can still be there.

What you have doesn’t disappear just because the days feel different for a while. It stays when the feelings were real to begin with.

So, if this worry has been sitting in your chest, you don’t have to hold it all alone.

You can talk about it in a warm and simple way, not as a blame or a demand, but as something true you are feeling.

You can say, “I care about us, and I want to keep feeling close.”

This kind of honesty is gentle, and it shows that your heart is in the right place.

my friend, small efforts go a long way here.

So, ask how their day felt, share something that reminded you of them, or tell them you’re thinking of them.

These things keep the bond steady naturally without taking much time, and they let the other person know you’re still there.

So today, think of one good memory you have shared with them, hold it in your mind for a moment, and then turn that into one simple line you can send.

It will make them feel good, and you, too.

I hope you’ll keep that in mind, my friend.

That is it for today, and see you tomorrow.

Take care,
