before :: after

the question mostly on my mind is,

are we two people that care about each other (the most) or not?

are we two people who think about each other (a lot) or not?

are we two people whose feelings and intentions and talents and interest and investment and intrigue and approval and awe and integrity and esteem and unease and desires and needs and secret wishes

are not that far off?

are we two people who want to be near each other?

is it that simple?
