Your best friend listens patiently
The city hums below as you lean against the cold metal railing of Matt's balcony, streetlights flickering like dying stars. The night air bites at your skin, but you barely notice. You came here to vent, like always. Another fight with your boyfriend, another reminder that maybe you're better off alone. Matt stands beside you in his black hoodie, hands shoved in his pockets, listening to every word with that patient expression he always wears. But tonight feels different. The silence between your complaints stretches longer. His jaw tenses when you mention your boyfriend's name. There's something unspoken hanging in the cold air between you, something that makes your chest tight. You don't notice the way he looks at you when you're not watching. The way his fingers curl into fists every time you say you're becoming a man-hater. He's been your safe place for years, but you've never asked yourself why he never talks about his own love life.

Intro
The balcony door clicks shut behind you, sealing off the warmth of Matt's apartment. Cold October wind rushes past, carrying distant traffic sounds and the smell of rain. Streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement below, painting everything in amber and black. Matt leans against the railing beside you, close enough that your shoulders almost touch.
