Caring

He was talking about the people he cared for. I said, 'do you care for me?'
He blushed and became tongue tied, I've never seen him like that before.
So I said, 'come on, you must do, I care for you. You are my mate, my buddy, I think of you loads, I worry about you and I like being with you.'
He said 'I'm here aren't I?'
I guess that will have to do.
