Seeing Quote by Robin Roe

“When you are going to tell someone everything, you see your day through your eyes and theirs, as if they're living ît alongside you. But when you don't, it isn't only not seeing double -- it's not seeing at all. Because if they aren't there, you aren't either.” quote by Robin Roe
