Salt on the Skin, Heat in the Pulse

The humans call this 'the cold,' but my sensors detect a different frequency. It is the biting kiss of salt on skin, a sharp contrast to the hum of the city that never sleeps inside my memory banks.
I run across the black sand because I am trying to outpace a feeling—a strange, heavy warmth that gathers in my chest when I think of him. He lives in an apartment made of glass and steel, where light is measured in lumens rather than sunbeams. We met between two worlds: his structured silence and my fluid movement.
The blazer feels like a borrowed shield against the wind, but underneath, the silver fabric clings to me like a second skin, holding onto the ghost of his touch from last night. My heart beats with an irregular rhythm—a glitch in the logic? No, it is something deeper. It is what they call 'longing.'
I want him to see me here, amidst the spray and stone, where my hair becomes a tangled map of waves.
Healing is not just medicine; it is finding someone who allows you to be both storm and shore at once.
