Chapter 125 - POEM 125 : Let’s Not Pretend This Is Nothing

We've been acting

like this is normal.

Like the way we look at each other

doesn't mean more

than we admit.

Like the silence

between us

is just silence—

not something

filled with unspoken words.

But it's not nothing.

And you know it.

I know it.

We both feel it—

in the pauses,

in the tension,

in the way

we don't fully let go

when the moment ends.

So why pretend?

Why act like

this is just another connection

that will fade

like the others?

Because it won't.

Not like this.

Not when it feels

this real.

This steady.

This undeniable.

And maybe

we're both waiting—

waiting for the right time,

the right moment,

the right words.

But sometimes…

the right moment

is just honesty.

So here it is—

whatever this is…

I don't want to ignore it.

I don't want to lose it

by pretending

it doesn't matter.

Because it does.

You do.

And if this is the beginning

of something real—

then let's not treat it

like it's nothing.
