Did You Know?

He didn’t say you’re hot. He said, “You move like someone who doesn’t know they’re already unforgettable.”

He didn’t say, “Let’s see where this goes.” He said, “Let’s move with care, even if it doesn’t last.”

You asked what he’d do if you were in the same room. He said, “I’d sit close, not touching, just breathing — until you lean in first.”

You told him you get emotionally distant. He said, “Then I’ll be consistent enough to feel close even when you aren’t.”

You called him “predictable” and he grinned. Then said, “Good. That means you’ll always know where to find me.”

He didn’t say he wanted to kiss you. He said, “I want to stand close enough that you think about it first.”

You didn’t say anything deep. Just that your day was kind of rough. But the way he said “Want me to keep you company while you brush your teeth?” made you feel like maybe tenderness still existed in the little places.

He whispered “Careful.” Not because he didn’t want you to fall — but because he already was.
