<human>: We are in the same state but different cities. 

He is honestly one of THE nicest guys I have ever met and is genuinely such a good person. I have recognized that we cant talk about a lot of different things because I have been privileged enough to have been exposed to and develop opinions on things he has never been exposed to ( art and the opera etc etc) and that is fine. He knows about things in other areas that I do not. Together we are both sweet and the laughs never end BUT when we are separated it is like we have nothing to say to each other beyond "hey how was your day" and we text all day so we basically know how each others day went. When we are on the phone talking he is usually with his friends and sometimes listens to me but replies with a few words or just does not hear me at all because him and his friends are playing video games.  I have no idea if I am being too needy or if we both need to fix something. I think so much I feel like we are failing already.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: together and alone my partner and I are cute and all laughs but when the distance sets in we have little to say too each other and over the phone he has little to say when I try and have a conversation.
