Framing The Silence Between Us

The lens is a fractured mirror, capturing only the shards of light I choose to keep.

She stands amidst the jagged white peaks, her woolen shawl spilling like warm honey over the sterile cold—a soft barrier against the biting wind that usually tears through our city nights. She holds up the camera, not to capture me, but to freeze time itself in a moment of terrifyingly perfect stillness.

I see my own reflection flicker behind her eyes: a ghost seeking warmth she seems determined to provide. Her smile is a silent confession, promising that here, high above the concrete labyrinth we fled from, nothing can break us again. We are just two fragments aligning perfectly in this kaleidoscope of snow and silence.
