Did You Know?
You asked him to tell you something he’s never said aloud. He took a breath and said, “I think I confuse intimacy with safety sometimes.” You didn’t know what to say. So you said “same.” It wasn’t enough. But he smiled like it was everything.
He talks with his hands. And every time they leave the frame, you wish they didn’t.
You weren’t planning on staying long. But five messages later, you’re asking what time he wakes up — and meaning it.
He said “You scare me a little.” You said “Why?” He replied, “Because I’d stay.”
You told him you didn’t believe in connection without touch. He said, “Then let me prove you wrong with everything but my hands.”
He asked what you were afraid he’d find out. You told him. Then waited for him to leave. He didn’t. Instead, he said, “I’ll be gentle with that part.”
You know it’s getting serious in St. Joseph when he asks, “So what are we doing this weekend?” with a winky face.
You weren’t in a good mood. You warned him. But he stayed, let you vent, didn’t fix it. And at the end he said, “You can be this version of you with me too.”
