He said he missed having a group to hang out with, that he only sees people one-on-one nowadays.
I told him I knew people hed really get on with and invited him to the pub with us.
Id introduced him to people I really, really care about, people Im quite possessive over.

The difference is that our relationship feels more equally weighted.
I dont give much, I dont make a run at sort out his problems.
The were-just-friends guy didnt ask me to bring him to the pub.
I just have so much to give, and I miss having someone to give it to.
I try giving less to him.
Well, I dont actually try.
I just get tired of putting all the effort in, so it happens naturally.
I might respond to his occasional wyd tonight?
text, or if I dont, Ill ping him back something similar in a few weeks.
One night, he asks if I want to meet him and his mates at the pub.
Its the same when Im writing an article and I start rushing to get it done.
I fall more out of love with the piece with each corner I cut.
Ive been giving that guy less, yesbut somehow its made me stop caring what I might get back.
