i literally notice everything. like when someone takes longer to reply, when the tone of their voice changes, or when they stop saying the things they used to. i notice when their messages get shorter, when their laughter feels forced, when their eyes no longer shine the same way, when their effort slowly fades. i notice when our talks become fewer, when the calls come less often, and when the silence starts to feel heavy. i notice the distance that quietly grows and the silence that suddenly feels louder than any words. even if i don't say anything, i feel it deep inside. i can't help but care too much and pay attention to every small thing. that's just who i am. i notice, i think too much, and i feel everything too deeply. so if you think i didn't notice, trust me, i did.
