This Probably Isn't For You and You Don’t Have to Answer

You don’t owe me anything.
That’s the difference now.

You're not asking.
I'm not hinting for less.
No one is dressing it up
as metaphor.

But I did leave something
where you’d see it.
Not a trap—
more like a record that could be
interpreted as invitation.

Of what?
Of how long the echo held
after your part went missing.

That’s all.
I won’t chase it.
I won’t rephrase.

But if something in you
tightened—
if you paused longer
than the line deserved—

then you already know
it was yours.
And you already know
I knew you’d look.
