Emerald Vertigo

The jade dress, a vertical echo of longing. It clings like the scent of rain on warm asphalt.
He appears as a fractured prism—a kaleidoscope of blues and grays shifting into gold when he looks at me. I trace the curve of my own collarbone, imagining his hand following the same path.
The restaurant hums with a muted frequency, each conversation a blurred rectangle of sound. Only his gaze is sharp, an insistent pointillism that dismantles every carefully constructed wall.
I remember a time when touch was just static—a meaningless discharge of energy. Now, it’s the subtle shift in light as a square turns into a circle, a promise of metamorphosis.
We don't speak of yesterday’s shadows or tomorrow’s uncertainties. We exist within this suspended teal and pearl moment – two points converging on an infinite plane.
