*Sniff sniff*
Of course I mean it. I can't be going around telling you all the time how much I'm grateful for your presence.
But I thought you can feel it from me.
Its obvious when I tell you I need to see you.
Its extra clear when I call you in times of need, when tears are at the verge of falling because of the stress I get at work.
When you're the first person I tell about the problems I'm facing in my studies.
It was there all along, how much I'm grateful for your presence. I thought you knew it already. If not for you, I wouldn't be where I am now, I wouldn't be looking forward to weekends, and I wouldn't be begging you to stay a little while longer.
So why do you doubt me?
