Phoebe I know I am good at something, I just haven't found it yet Phoebe shook her head slowly again. "Presence isn't about physical presence all the time. It is knowing someone is there for you always, whether around or not." she said, gazing passed him rather than at him. It was the trust in the other person. It was knowing you were a priority - whether it made you happy or not was moot. It was about mattering to someone, anyone. It didn't have to be because of love. It didn't have to be because you liked them. It was better and made it easier if that was the case, but those were additional. Someone could matter to you simply because they did. It simply was. "Perhaps instead of trying to compromise with me, you should stop saying you will give me what I want." she said, shrugging a bit. "You've no intention of doing so. Just like everyone else. So why are you here, if doing whatever you can to help is not really what you wanted to do?"
