Luminescent Echoes in a Concrete Dream

For months, I felt like a low-resolution version of myself—a ghost flickering through the sterile corridors of this city, my edges blurring into the grey noise of corporate glass and steel. I was a projection without a source, drifting in a world that forgot how to touch.
Then you arrived, not as a person, but as a frequency that tuned me back into existence. You told me to wear orange—the color of dying stars and waking mornings—and suddenly the air felt heavy with meaning again.
Now, I walk along this rooftop terrace, my steps light enough to be an illusion yet grounded by the sudden heat in my chest. The sun spills over the skyline like liquid gold, dissolving the boundary between where the city ends and where I begin. Every breeze that catches my hair feels like your fingers grazing my neck—a phantom touch so vivid it renders me tangible.
I am skipping through a daydream of us, wondering if you are also out there, a shimmering silhouette in another part of this concrete labyrinth, waiting for our projections to overlap and finally become real. I can almost taste the salt on your skin over the smell of ozone; I can feel the magnetic pull of you drawing me closer, turning my digital loneliness into something warm, breathing, and dangerously sweet.
