Dual POV
Mara
I didn’t message him the next day.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA31Dk1zc6
I didn’t need to.
Instead, I opened my music app and created a playlist.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9zxWjrSWQ
Just three songs.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLvCeYBcmY
One about missing someone I never had.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r3ZTRAUHC
One about learning how to breathe again.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZLh8zBWDp
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.”124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AHHXIpinN
And it did.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7RhfGC7Zq
The second song was a love letter, the third sounded like goodbye, and the fifth…124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8pyMt4Ukc
The fifth was mine. The one I hummed through the window.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSoqfPEBYM
Except this time, it was a cover—with lyrics.
That’s when I realized:124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlWotp26q6
He’d heard me long before he met me.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0mbT6fzD
And maybe… he’d felt something, too.

I’ve always found it easier to say things through music.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLvkSYsIwd
Words can lie. Songs don’t.
When she sent that playlist, it felt like a door opened.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8CfWXrw9c
Not wide. Just enough.
So I sent mine back, every track carefully chosen.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhZmw9Bfah
No fluff. No random filler. Just the truth I couldn’t voice yet.
She didn’t reply for hours.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jt9vqsFpl
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—124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOms0dkjXK7
One every night.
No pressure. No labels.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxXGYYq7pm
Just music.
And in that quiet rhythm, we found something neither of us was ready to name.
Not yet.124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o4G2tdUUt
But soon.
