You asked me how my day had been I gave the short version You smiled like you knew there was more But you didn’t push We talked about the weather About nothing at all Then you looked at me again And paused Like you weren’t done listening Like the first answer wasn’t the end You said, ask me again Tell me the part you skipped The one you didn’t finish The one you almost missed You didn’t rush the moment You didn’t pretend You just looked at me And asked me again I changed the subject, laughed it off You let it pass But later, walking side by side You asked Not like an interview Not like a test Just curious in a way That felt honest Like you actually wanted to know Not just to fill the space You said, ask me again When I was ready to speak When the words felt safer When I wasn’t strong or weak You didn’t need a reason You didn’t need a plan You stayed right there And asked me again I didn’t realise it back then How rare that kind of care can be To be seen without being exposed Completely You said, ask me again Tomorrow or tonight Whenever it feels easier Whenever it feels right And now I know what that meant I know what I felt back then You weren’t just being polite You were seeing me Again You didn’t look away You asked me again
