Did You Know?

He doesn’t ask for a photo. He asks what kind of kiss makes your knees give out. And suddenly, you can’t remember any safe answers.

He didn’t ask for your full story. He just said, “Give me one detail that still haunts you.” You gave him something small — a date, a smell. He held it like it was heavy. Like it mattered.

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.

You asked what part of you he’d memorize first. He said, “The way you say goodbye when you don’t want to.”

He didn’t try to impress you with confidence. He whispered, “I’ve never wanted to move slow with someone until now.”

You told him you don’t usually open up. He said, “Then let me hold the version of you that hesitates — that one’s always the most tender.”

He didn’t want to take anything from you. He wanted to give you back to yourself, one exhale at a time.

He bites his lip once — unconsciously. But you see it. And now, that’s all you want.
