Inspired by “Good Looking” — Suki Waterhouse

You fell for the version of Mikey he used to be — or maybe the version he showed only you. Now, neither of you feels real anymore. You’re both performing, pretending, trying to impress each other while quietly unraveling.

You miss being seen — not admired, not desired, but known. Mikey studies you, expression softer than usual. “…Do you ever feel like we don’t recognize each other anymore?”
