character development

confused by all these guys

asking to see me then not answering

my messages telling them yes

I'll text "meet me at 7"

he'll come sweep me off my feet

(literally)

when we go out to get dinner

he'll encourage me to actually eat

but then he won't respond for hours

the others send signals just as mixed

winking at me when they’re with their friends

smiling as I walk by them

initiating conversations

(then falling silent)

grab my waist, pull me in for a kiss

generate distance between us

watch my face, make out like you’re reading what’s written on it

leave me stranded in the same spot you made me a promise

call me beautiful in another language, teach me words in your mother tongue

talk shit about me with your friends

after touching me and saying you could never get enough
