Many a times one feels that your boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend doesn't do enough. They never seem to call you enough, never seem to ask you about your day as much as you'd have liked them to, doesn't ask you out as often as you want to see them and never appear to be springing any surprises. We therefore conclude that actually they don't really care that much after all. But is that true? Do they not give a damn or are they just poorer at expressing themselves?

Some people only take action when bigger cracks begin to show. Or when some other events take place that causes separation. Like a break-up threat. Like a long term overseas posting or education. Like when your other half stop bugging and expecting some stuff to come from you. Then when the orange light lights up or just a second before the red one lights up, they suddenly show that they might still care. The common conclusion is therefore this person only treasures something when it is on the verge of being lost. Or maybe not. Maybe these people just have too much pride, or simply have no idea what to do before. So just before D-day, they'll try triply hard to say how much they really care.

Sadly sometimes it becomes a case of too little, too late. But at least if you've chosen to let go, you at least understood and know you've always been loved, except it was not always shown.
