I said, “That’s fun,” you blinked, then smiled
Waited one beat, then echoed, “Wild.”
We didn’t plan, but timed it sweet
Two thoughts in sync, two matching beats
You said it second, just like me
Not copying, but casually
The way your laugh curved with the phrase
Made ordinary feel ablaze
You tugged your sleeve, I stirred my straw
But underneath, there was a flaw
One step behind, but still aligned
Your silence spoke a different kind
You echo words, but change the tone
And suddenly I’m not alone
