A Blush Beneath the Neon Frost

The city is a hungry beast, devouring moments with its steel teeth and neon sighs.
I wrap myself in this pink cloud—my fur of dreams—a soft fortress against the biting wind that tries to steal my breath. It feels like being tucked into bed by moonlight.
But then there’s you. You sit across from me, a silhouette carved out of longing and steam.
I slide down my glasses, letting our eyes collide in a slow-motion dance of recognition. No words are needed; the air between us thickens with unspoken promises, smelling faintly of expensive perfume and rain on asphalt.
My heart does that tiny flutter—the one only kittens know when they’re about to pounce or curl into your chest. You aren't just a face in the crowd; you are my anchor in this swirling tide of gray.
Let the world freeze outside our window. For now, let us exist here in the velvet warmth, where every breath is shared and every glance feels like home.
