There's this space between yes and no. Between a nod of the head or a shake. It's after you confess, "hey... I like you”, and before the other replies. A kind of limbo of ticking bombs that makes you feel like you might explode. But it also makes you feel safe. A space where nothing has gone right just yet, but nothing has gone wrong either. A mixture of eager anticipation and fear. A happy, in-between where nothing is built or destroyed.
