She Liked You. But You Couldn’t Like Yourself Enough to Believe It.

There she was.

Smiling a little too long. Texting you first. Laughing at your dumb jokes (and come on, they were dumb). She gave you the signs. All of them. The green lights were flashing like a goddamn runway.

But you didn’t take the shot.

Not because you didn’t see it. You saw it. You felt it. And that’s what scared the hell out of you.
