Did You Know?

He didn’t rush into the kiss. He described it — in detail. Where, when, how — and waited to see where your imagination lingered longest.

He didn’t make the conversation about him. But when he said, “I like hearing the sound of your thinking,” you suddenly felt like your brain had value outside of productivity.

He didn’t say you’re irresistible. He said, “You make time feel like it’s asking permission to keep going.”

You told him you don’t like pressure. He replied, “Then let this be weightless. Just want, not demand.”

You said you were tired. He said “Sleep near me. Even if it’s just in this call.”

You told him you’ve been wanted for the wrong reasons. He said, “Then I’ll want you for the pauses, the stillness, the soft way you fold into conversation.”

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.”

He didn’t ask for a kiss. He asked, “What would calm your body down right now?”
