Petals in the Pocket of My Heart

The city breathes in shades of blush and ivory today. I walk through the park, feeling as though my feet are barely touching the earth, suspended between what is real and what only exists when we close our eyes to dream. Each falling petal feels like a whispered secret from another life—soft against my skin, landing on my hair with an intimacy that makes me want to reach out and catch every single one.

The air smells of damp earth and sweet nectar, a perfume brewed by the season itself. I can see you in the crowd; not as a face among many, but as a steady warmth amidst this fleeting bloom. You are my anchor in a world that feels increasingly like watercolors running under rain. When our eyes meet across the path, it isn’t just a glance—it is an invitation to step out of time.

I want to press your palm against mine and tell you how I collect these moments: saving them like pressed flowers between pages of my soul. In this garden of light, there are no sirens or deadlines, only the gentle pulse of our hearts syncing with the swaying branches. Let us be lost together in this pink haze until we forget where the city ends and our own private paradise begins.
