She looked good
so, I slid in her DMs
Despite the hour being late
I shot my shot from beyond half court hoping she was awake
*** was I thinking?
Then out the blue I see not one
not two
but three fluttering ellipses
My eyes light up like fireflies, but how
“Im actually awake right now”
I’m geeked
for a split second I couldn’t speak
Thank God we were messaging
Easy I told myself
Be cool, breathe
So I did
Then we traded words like kids
Each message landing
Every emoji taking us further
For a moment it felt like déjà vu
Like we already shared this proverbial dance
Like we previously walked a kindred road together
Then nothing
She stopped responding
**** did I say something wrong?
I wondered if I stumbled and some careless word fell from my mouth
Let me not overthink it
I have been carrying the conversation maybe she’s just shy
Maybe the rooms inside her soul open slowly
So I replied playfully, "You shy, huh?"
She responded sharply "Who shy?"
We laughed and the convo moved on
And somewhere beyond the start and the end
We felt comfortable enough to make plans to talk to each other again
