Silly boy

It must have been the outfit
Maybe the confidence and her capable nature
No, must have been his boy eyes seeing things
Must have been that moment when she didn’t back away at a given statement
Must have been that strange spark of joy and energy that came from nowhere
Must have been like her he didn’t feel fulfilled by casual sex, instead found the connection was most exciting
Maybe it was her leaning on him at the bar
The taxi ride
The topics of conversation that no one else could understand
The phone calls
The looks
The...
Must have been a thousand things which finally made him lean in and attempt to kiss her
But she turned  her face away as she didn’t want to be a silly girl
This made him feel like a silly boy
Only a boy feels joy. Men have to bear it.
