Bloom Against the Horizon's Pull

The sun doesn't just warm my skin; it untethers me. Here, on the edge where wood meets water, I feel lighter than air. The floral patterns on my suit seem to be blooming in zero gravity, drifting up from my ribs into a soft defiance against the pull of the world below.

I think of him then—the way his touch felt like an anchor that didn't drag me down but held me aloft amidst the stormy city chaos we left behind. A modern romance written not on paper, but in the warmth radiating from our skin as we learned to float above expectations and responsibilities.

The ocean breathes around us, a blue expanse demanding nothing more than presence. My smile widens because I understand now: healing isn't sinking into something solid; it's learning how light you can become.
