Did You Know?
He asked “What’s your softest memory?” And listened like he planned to protect it.
He didn’t send a thirst trap. He sent a voice note recorded in bed, where he just whispered, “You still on my mind?” And the way your chest clenched, you knew you were his, even if only in that moment.
He didn’t say you were intense. He said, “You love like a fire escape. Quietly, until someone needs saving.”
He doesn’t ask what you do. He asks when you last felt seen. And you realize that’s the only question that mattered.
He didn’t need to say your name. He just breathed in when you entered the call, like the air got better with you in it.
He didn’t call you beautiful. He called you grounding. Said, “You don’t float — you anchor.”
He sent a playlist titled “You.” You’re not the only one who got it — but it’s still cute in Loves Park.
The more he says “I’m chill,” the more his texts read like a telenovela. That’s Loves Park subtlety.
