Dual POV
Mara
I didn’t message him the next day.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8I9N2YitA
I didn’t need to.
Instead, I opened my music app and created a playlist.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmqpmyyuv
Just three songs.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCJMDHiMNl
One about missing someone I never had.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHppqHxdu7Q
One about learning how to breathe again.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4h8Pd3uHc
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.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcRZEcKkC
And it did.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0qmssxTwg
The second song was a love letter, the third sounded like goodbye, and the fifth…102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Ad85w9sd
The fifth was mine. The one I hummed through the window.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4CWQ0Kdm8
Except this time, it was a cover—with lyrics.
That’s when I realized:102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xlVDefIC8
He’d heard me long before he met me.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpu7xCM5zq
And maybe… he’d felt something, too.

I’ve always found it easier to say things through music.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ZDh2iJBA
Words can lie. Songs don’t.
When she sent that playlist, it felt like a door opened.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYw3urBUW2
Not wide. Just enough.
So I sent mine back, every track carefully chosen.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvznbtFfHfw
No fluff. No random filler. Just the truth I couldn’t voice yet.
She didn’t reply for hours.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PxBPLjRgT
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—102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvifR6uaAy
One every night.
No pressure. No labels.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYFczVyHp
Just music.
And in that quiet rhythm, we found something neither of us was ready to name.
Not yet.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAloJMoPva
But soon.
