it's funny how it's only been almost two weeks. we started with random conversations, the kind you don't really expect to matter. just replies, small jokes, harmless teasing. nothing serious. nothing deep.

but somehow, i started looking forward to your name lighting up my screen. i started rereading our chats when i'm bored. i started smiling at my phone like there's something wrong with me. you flirt like it's natural, like it's just part of your personality. and maybe it is. maybe you don't even realize what it does to me. but every "what are you doing?" feels a little different. every tease feels a little warmer.

sometimes i catch myself imagining what it would be like to just hug you. not in a dramatic, movie-type way. just a quiet hug. the kind where i don't have to explain why you matter. and that's the scary part. it's only been two weeks. i don't know if this is just me overthinking, or if there's something growing here, slow and quiet. i don't know if you feel it too, or if this is just how you are with everyone. all i know is, in just fourteen days, you've become someone i don't want to lose.

and i'm trying not to fall too fast.

but i think i already am.
