Didn’t Expect That

You said something nice to me
and it stuck.

Not in a deep way,
just enough to make me smile
for no reason later.

I don’t even really know you,
and you probably didn’t think twice about it,
but I did.

It caught me off guard.
the way it was said,
like it was easy,
like you meant it.

And I love that it made me blush,
like that never happens to me.

Now you just pop into my head
at random times,
and I don’t even try to stop it.

It’s not anything serious.
I just…

I like it.
