Dual POV
Mara
I didn’t message him the next day.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj96vST42jM
I didn’t need to.
Instead, I opened my music app and created a playlist.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtfrxDTBzx
Just three songs.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ3qwAiwMt
One about missing someone I never had.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux7Fmi3qal
One about learning how to breathe again.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaz122QFGV
And one—soft and wordless—that made me think of him sitting across from me in the rain.
I named it “For When You’re Not Sure.”
No text. No explanation. Just a link I dropped in his inbox that night.
Ten minutes later, a message appeared:
“That third track wrecked me. Here’s mine.”
His playlist was called “If I Said Too Much.”107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHd1njqWtN
And it did.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYNW6FMpVX
The second song was a love letter, the third sounded like goodbye, and the fifth…107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc9QkaqtpY
The fifth was mine. The one I hummed through the window.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWHgFmZkBE
Except this time, it was a cover—with lyrics.
That’s when I realized:107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEgMtTBMGC
He’d heard me long before he met me.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pIV02xQVJ
And maybe… he’d felt something, too.

I’ve always found it easier to say things through music.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwAjBBsJAh
Words can lie. Songs don’t.
When she sent that playlist, it felt like a door opened.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HLPyxDWOr
Not wide. Just enough.
So I sent mine back, every track carefully chosen.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKtvTHFgf1
No fluff. No random filler. Just the truth I couldn’t voice yet.
She didn’t reply for hours.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSoUU5Yngz
When she finally did, it was just:
“I don’t know what this is yet. But I want to find out.”
That was it.
And somehow, it was more honest than any three-page confession could’ve been.
So we kept exchanging playlists—107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7iKbQMYR0
One every night.
No pressure. No labels.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO2SlfOke5
Just music.
And in that quiet rhythm, we found something neither of us was ready to name.
Not yet.107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eMfGR37iA
But soon.
