Untitled 066 — Summary

We first met eyes, and I wanted more; To learn the language of his love, To feel the softness of his soul; To see art through his words and hear music through his laugh. I wanted to know him in all the ways that I loved about him already.

The speaker describes the moment a crush turns into something deeper. It starts simply: two people meet eyes, and that glance leaves the speaker wanting more. From there, the wish grows into a list of things they hope to discover about this man: the "language of his love," the "softness of his soul," the art in his words, the music in his laugh.

What stands out is how the speaker borrows from other senses and art forms. Words become paintings, a laugh becomes music, love becomes a language to be learned. It suggests that this person already feels rich and layered to the speaker, and that knowing him fully would be a kind of education.

The ending is the tenderest part. The speaker already loves certain things about him, and now wants to know him in all those same ways. The mood is warm, hopeful, and a little shy, the quiet ache of wanting to get closer.

Those sleepless nights in my bed alone with a cup of brewed coffee While hugging my pillows and hiding under the cozy blanket Those countless hours ticking by That is when I had mastered the art of missing you~

You don't love me. Even when you see me shedding in tears Your heart doesn't ache anymore. You don't love me.
