Dual POV
Mara
I didn’t message him the next day.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wt2JnY1Zi
I didn’t need to.
Instead, I opened my music app and created a playlist.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdc4XtroPm
Just three songs.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaSn8yDb6j
One about missing someone I never had.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34WVM0nyJR
One about learning how to breathe again.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs2R0j1TFl
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.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYW5RhTXeE
And it did.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTotg1CmO4U
The second song was a love letter, the third sounded like goodbye, and the fifth…111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuzVBtISK5
The fifth was mine. The one I hummed through the window.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatOb4uw2EB
Except this time, it was a cover—with lyrics.
That’s when I realized:111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAInj4v7Aja
He’d heard me long before he met me.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTv1UJhhQy
And maybe… he’d felt something, too.

I’ve always found it easier to say things through music.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FXUU9oDdF
Words can lie. Songs don’t.
When she sent that playlist, it felt like a door opened.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuwWMiOyZi
Not wide. Just enough.
So I sent mine back, every track carefully chosen.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQknW63JdOx
No fluff. No random filler. Just the truth I couldn’t voice yet.
She didn’t reply for hours.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY4Klpsmmo
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—111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab2iUThrV2
One every night.
No pressure. No labels.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITc7RXRZGF
Just music.
And in that quiet rhythm, we found something neither of us was ready to name.
Not yet.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYPyMIB5Wd
But soon.
