Did You Know?
You weren’t sure if this was going anywhere. But when he asked if you wanted to share a song and listen to it at the same time, your heart said yes before your fingers could type it.
He said “Tell me something you’ve never said out loud.” You said, “I want someone to look at me like you are now.”
You both stopped typing at the same time. Again. And then he said, “Okay, this is starting to feel like something.”
He didn’t say “good morning,” but he noticed the change in your voice. Said it sounded lighter. And in that one comment, you felt something inside you unclench — like maybe someone finally saw the version of you that wasn’t holding everything together by a thread.
You blink and it’s been 47 minutes. He hasn’t shown much. But somehow, you’ve seen everything.
You told him about your flaws. He said, “Then I’ll learn how to love you around them — not despite them.”
You tried to be funny, to dodge the moment. But then he said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to dress it up. I’ll stay either way.” That hit different. Because most people only stay for the edited version of you — not the draft in real time.
If he said “I’m complicated,” believe him. In Poway, that’s usually code for “I’m hot, but unavailable.”
