Azure Fever: The Weight of a Stolen Summer

I’m wearing these sunglasses not to hide from the Greek sun, but to keep you trapped in a single frame while I watch you walk toward me. My skin is humming—a slow burn that has nothing to do with the Aegean heat and everything to do with the way your fingertips brushed my waist at dawn.
We are two ghosts who escaped our corporate cages in London just to bleed ourselves dry under these blue domes. You’re a risk I shouldn't have taken; you smell like expensive tobacco, rain-slicked asphalt, and secrets that would ruin us both if we ever went home with them.
I feel the salt crystallizing on my skin, but it’s your gaze—heavy, hungry, almost violent in its tenderness—that truly anchors me. There is something fatalistic about this moment: knowing that when I finally lower these lenses and look you in the eye, we aren't just starting a vacation; we are signing an unspoken pact to burn every bridge behind us.
Let the world call it healing. To me, it feels like a beautiful crime. Come closer—I want to feel your heartbeat against my ribs until I can’t tell where my breath ends and yours begins.
