Did You Know?
He asked your favorite smell. Then said, “I hope one day you associate it with me.”
He didn’t describe what he wanted from you. He asked, “What do you want to feel when this is over?”
He turns off the lamp. Not the call. Now it’s just voices and outlines. And it’s better that way.
You sent him a playlist without comment. He replied with one line: “I know what mood this is. I’m in it too.”
You told him you get overwhelmed easily. He said, “Then I’ll never knock loud. I’ll wait at the door until you invite me in.”
He flirts like it’s poetry, but disappears like smoke. Lodi leaves you wondering.
You didn’t plan to save the voice note. But now it lives in your files, like a secret you play only when no one’s watching.
You say something bold. He doesn’t reply right away. The wait burns worse than rejection. Then: “same.” And it’s better than yes.
