was it casual, mike? when you cried the whole way home, completely inconsolable because you believed you'd lost him forever? when you kept all of his drawings in a binder? when you were the only one amongst your friends who believed he was still alive? when you recognized his soft, weak voice through the walkie talkie? when you held him close and said you'd take him home but then took him to your house? was it casual when you told him that if you two were going crazy, then you'd go crazy together? when you used a soft voice you never use with anyone else to tell him he'd not be in danger and held his hand? when you slept by his side in the hospital, when you stood by his side when he was possessed even though you could've just left him for your own safety? when you said asking him to be your friend was the best thing you've ever done with tears in your eyes? when you biked across town under pouring rain to apologize to him because you knew how badly you'd hurt him? when you told him that the hometown you guys share is not the same to you anymore because he's not there, when you missed him so much that you felt like you'd lost him? was it ever casual, mike?
