Story of your life? Maybe you wouldn’t know; you only have access to one side of the situation. A girl and a boy share some small talks. Everything seems utterly insignificant on the outside.

“Where are you heading?”  “I’m just walking.”  “What’s on your mind?”  “Just this and that...”  “Could I walk with you?”  “Why not.”

Yet this person has nudged your heart - not too harshly that you plunge into blind infatuation, not too lightly that you forget it all after a day, but just enough to make things interesting. Every flat remark seems too flat to be flat. What’s hidden inside that mind? Something creative, something beautiful? Well, you have to find out, right?

“Hold on.” “What’s wrong?” “Oh, it’s nothing.” 

He’s not being cold, he’s not warming up to you either. So you keep paying attention to see what sense you can make of this...game. He looks you in the eyes with no apparent signs of excitement or nervousness. Maybe he doesn’t care about you in that way. If you were to be honest with yourself, you really like this person. He’s the real deal. But all these mind games and uncertainty make you take one, two steps back. You act like you’re unfazed. You can’t care, because he doesn’t.
