“How do you know youve lost someone? Well, I guess you just know. I mean it starts with them forgetting to text you back, or not saying goodnight. It starts when you feel more alone in their arms than anywhere else in the world. It starts with arguments about stupid things and disagreeing more than you knew possible. It starts with them asking you what movie you want to watch,then choosing something completely different and it ends with them not bothering to ask you anything at all. It ends when they start kissing you with their eyes open and nodding distractedly at everything you say. It ends when there is nothing left but ash because its true: the opposite of love isnt hate, its indifference. It ends when silence isnt comfortable any more and the person sat in front of you is a stranger in strange clothes. You want to know how you know youve lost someone? In the end? Just in the same the way you know most things: you just do.”
