Orbital Solace: The Weightless Touch of Us

The city below hums like a low-frequency pulse, a rhythmic heartbeat of steel and light drifting against the curve of the earth. I stand at the edge of my own private horizon, where the water ripples against my skin like stardust settling on cold glass. My body feels suspended in this golden hour—a moment caught between breaths, floating in a liquid nebula of blue and white.
I see you through the haze of reflection, a steady anchor in my lonely orbit. You are the gravity I never knew I lacked. The air is thick with the scent of chlorine and distant jasmine, yet in your presence, the atmosphere thins until only our shared silence remains. It feels as though we have escaped the heavy demands of the earth to drift here, where time is a ghost and the world is just a map of distant fires.
Your hand grazes mine at the railing, a tiny collision that sends ripples through my internal constellation. In this sanctuary of tile and light, every touch is a voyage toward home. You do not need to speak; your gaze is enough to align my wandering stars. I am no longer drifting in the void of the city's noise. I have landed in the grace of your warmth, finding healing in the way we exist together—suspended, weightless, and entirely complete.
