When I say, "I miss you" I hope that you miss me too, but I don't expect that you do.
When I say, "I care about you" I hope that you also care, but I don't expect that you do.
When I say, "You're important" I hope that somehow I am too, but I don't expect that I am.
When I say, "You're special" I hope that I am somehow special too, but I don't expect that I am.
