And you’re not sure if it qualifies as cheating or not.

You when they leave you unread. 

I thought I meant something. I guess love just isn’t for me. 

You when it’s their birthday and you’re not sure if you’re allowed to post about them on social media yet. 

But you still want to do something special for them so they know that you really like them.

You when they send you “Hey” on WhatsApp after ignoring you for the entire day.
