These are not love poems/stories

They are fragments of presence. Traces left behind after a look, a silence, a message unanswered.

I wrote them without knowing if anyone would ever read them and that's maybe why they feel real.

Some were born from fascination. Some from longing. Others from the simple act of noticing.

They weren't written to be understood.
Just to be felt,
for a second,
by someone who might know what it's like
to feel too much
and say almost nothing.
