Did You Know?

He told you he’s fine. But when you asked again — just softly, just once — he broke. And that’s when you knew: no one had ever checked twice before.

You asked what he wanted from this. He said, “To be the person you text without thinking. The one you trust with the small stuff.”

If he replies “maybe,” he means “yes, but only if you text first again.” Classic Franklin passive pursuit.

Guys in Franklin love to “check the vibe” — even if that vibe is complete chaos.

He didn’t call you out for your walls. He leaned against them and said, “When you’re ready to lower one, I’ll still be standing here.”

He said “I’m bad at this” and then sent the most thoughtful text you’ve gotten all month.

You said, “I don’t feel sexy lately.” He said, “That’s okay. I don’t need sexy. I just want present.”

He asked how long it’s been since someone kissed you like they meant it. And when you hesitated, he whispered, “I want to be the one who makes you forget the answer.”

You didn’t expect the word “soon” to hurt. But when he said it, something in your chest folded.

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

You wake up still thinking about what he didn’t say. Sometimes silence is louder than sexts.

He lifts his arm and scratches behind his neck. The exposure is small. The impact is not.

He doesn’t ask where you are. He says, “I bet I’ve passed you before.” And suddenly, every stranger feels suspicious.
