Is This Real?

Okay, he replied
He actually replied
And he spells you with all three letters
What kind of sorcery is this

He asked me what music I like
I said indie pop and angry girls with guitars
He said same
I said I make playlists
He said send me your weirdest one

We talked for hours
He types like he thinks before pressing send
He listens
He asks questions
He's so good I wanna Google him just to make sure he's not dead

Same favorite movie, same birth year, same shade of gay
Same childhood crush, it was Aladdin by the way
He loves bookstores
He's been to Iceland
He once broke up with a guy for being rude to a waiter

So what's the catch
He can't be real, right
No one this well adjusted should be single

But what if he's just
A good thing I deserve
What if this time
The universe swerved

What if I don't mess it up
Don't overthink or stall
What if I just show up
And let myself fall

I'm going
I'm not asking
I'm not waiting for a sign
I'm going to meet him

And when I got there
He looked up
And I looked at him

And it was like every love song
Stopped being a lie
Like the apps melted away
Like the world pressed pause
And the sky whispered

Begin
