Hey Stephen

Hey Stephen is a very specific crush. It doesn't declare love; it wonders quietly if he's noticed her. That shyness — turning a feeling into "waiting for you to hear it" — lands harder than a loud confession.

Its grace is that it doesn't demand an answer. Taylor writes the teenage tangle of "I like you but won't say, and if I do it might be too much" as something lovable and true.
