Description

We met a week and a half ago at a cafe, and we talked about writing, religion, and various other things. It felt like we enjoyed each others' company more after we each had a cider and loosened up. We flirted (or maybe just joked around) via text later that evening and then you messaged me a couple more times. I regretted that I didn't see your messages immediately so we couldn't talk more when you wanted to. Then you just kind of disappeared. I didn't feel an instant spark when we were together, but the more I thought about it the more interested I became. It's not like I have a crush, I just want to know more about you and spend more time with you. I felt like there was *something* there, even if not romantic; even if we were just friends. I think in a lot of ways we'd be good for each others' lives, and I've been kinda bummed the last week that I didn't get to see you again. There were a lot of little similarities I noticed between us that I didn't really comment on in the moment, and I wasn't lying when I said that you're the first person who's ever managed to understand that poem of mine to that degree. And I really don't think there would be an unequal relationship between us when it comes to sharing knowledge. You're too smart to not know a damn lot of things that I don't. I hope you didn't break your phone or get arrested. And I hope you pop back into my life.
