Feeling Overwhelmed in the Dark

I’ve been trying to keep things light and casual with Sarah. We met up last week after weeks of texting and it was... something, but not what I hoped for. After some drinks at a bar, we went back to her place, and despite my nerves, I gave in to wanting more from the connection we’d built online. But when it happened, and yes, you know what I mean, it felt wrong somehow. There’s this distance now that wasn’t there before, like our intimate moment was just another step towards ending a casual conversation instead of deepening something real. It’s been tough trying to pretend everything is normal between us since then. Every text feels heavy with the weight of last week and what it didn’t deliver for me.
