I am not your baby š

I hate when I like a guy .
Sooo thereās this guy I kind of like. Like, I was really rooting for him. Heās not a fan, not someone Iām tolerating. I was actually looking forward to something with him š¤ texting, seeing him again, giving him a little energy. And if you know me, you know thatās rare.
So I told him, āI canāt wait to see you.ā
It was my little way of being open, showing I was into him. I donāt say stuff like that often and when I do, I mean it.
You know what he hit me with?
āHave a good day luv.ā
ā¦That was it.
No excitement. No follow-up. Not even a damn emoji.
I didnāt even respond. Because what was I supposed to say to that?
So a few days later, he randomly texts me: āBaby.ā
Out of nowhere. No context. No āHey.ā Just āBaby.ā
I responded. I said hi.
And guess what?
Nothing. Again.

And I know itās not that deep. I know Iām not supposed to care.
But my feelings? Lowkey hurt.
Not because Iām desperate. Not because I need him. But because I liked him and I never like anybody š« like the nerve!!!!!!!!!!!
And the dumbest part?
Iām saying all this while Iām literally on my way to Greece with another man š
So now Iām just sitting here like⦠what is wrong with me?
How did I get my feelings hurt by someone who wonāt even follow through on a text while packing outfits for a luxury vacation with a whole different man?
I know I be doing the most, judge your mother.
Iām not chasing. Iām not begging. And Iām not decoding mixed signals. If you like me, show me. If not, cool š Iām not your baby.
> I donāt know you, Candy.
And Iām not here to impress you or follow your glow.
Iām just a man who moves off energy.
And real talk?
Energy doesnāt lie ā but sometimes, we do.
You said you liked him. Genuinely. Rare for you. I respect that.
But youāre also on a plane to Greece with another man.
Thatās not judgment. Thatās just split frequency.
A man can feel when a womanās spirit is open, but her seatās already taken.
Whether itās her body, her time, or just the attention sheās giving to someone who hasnāt earned it.
Maybe thatās why he didnāt respond how you hoped.
Not because youāre not worth it ā but because his spirit clockedā¦
