Whenever I come across a genuinely nice hookup, I can't help but wish them the best, even after we've gone our separate ways

Context: Yesterday had a pretty chill side fun with this guy but because it was already late he let me sleep with him in his bed and all night was just us talking and bantering, with the occasional groping and kissing lmao. We felt really safe with each other and I guess I'm acting like this because guys like him don't come around often.
He was kind, funny, respectful, and surprisingly easy to talk to. There wasn't any pressure to be someone else or to keep the conversation going artificially. We just talked about random things until we got sleepy.
Now that it's over, I find myself genuinely hoping life treats him well. Not in a "I'm in love" kind of way, and not because I'm expecting anything more to happen between us. I just think it's rare to meet someone, even briefly, who leaves you feeling a little better about people.
Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? Like you meet someone for a night, knowing it probably won't become anything serious, but you still quietly wish them the best long after you've gone your separate ways?
