Did You Know?
The more he says “I’m chill,” the more his texts read like a telenovela. That’s Cicero subtlety.
He says “I’m complicated,” but you reply “me too” — and now you’re texting like it’s fate.
You told him about your worst habit. He didn’t laugh. He just said, “We all have ghosts. I’m not afraid of yours.”
He made no promises. But when you said you overthink things, he didn’t laugh. Just nodded slowly and said, “Me too. But that just means we’ll listen harder.”
You said “what if?” He said “don’t stop there.”
He said “no expectations,” but saved your name with a heart emoji. That’s called denial in Cicero.
You both laughed too loud at something dumb. But then he looked at you for a second too long. And suddenly, it didn’t feel dumb at all.
He didn’t tell you he missed you. He just asked what you were doing tonight. And when you said “nothing,” he smiled like it meant everything.
