misread signals

an index of moments that meant something else.

not everything that feels like interest is interest.

not everything that stays is attachment.

some signals are neutral until we narrate them.

familiarity

you were easy to talk to.

i mistook ease for depth.

comfort is not always desire.

consistency

you replied.

i filled in the meaning.

availability is not intention.

politeness

you were kind.

i called it attraction.

not all warmth is directional.

proژهction

i heard what i was ready to hear.

not what was said.

desire is a loud interpreter.

presence

we were near.

nothing asked to deepen.

proximity is not escalation.

clarity

when i stopped narrating,

the signal became clear.

it wasn’t rejection. it was accuracy.

ending

nothing changed.

my interpretation did.

this is how misreads resolve.
