Did You Know?

He didn’t want to rush the kiss. He wanted the air before it — the millisecond of electricity when two people say yes without saying anything.

He didn’t ask for nudes. He asked what part of your body you guard most — and what story lives there.

He asked if you ever feel lonely in a room full of people. You nodded, even though he couldn’t see it through the call. He waited a second and said, “Me too. But right now, I don’t.”

His thumbnail has a crack. His voice has a rasp. Everything about him is imperfect. And that’s why you’re still here.

You told him you’re not good at expressing need. He said, “Then let me guess gently — and get it right often enough to earn the truth.”

You sent a selfie. He said, “You always look better when you don’t try.” And somehow, that felt more intimate than any other compliment.

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 weren’t expecting it. But now your body remembers his name like muscle memory.

He didn’t clean up before the call. But you notice the glass of water, the half-zipped hoodie, the curve of his collarbone. You notice everything.

He puts his hand behind his head. You want to kiss the spot where elbow meets jaw.

You tell him your favorite color. He doesn’t respond. Then he lifts his shirt, and it’s the exact shade.
