Silver Strands and Asphalt Veins

I’ve spent my life debugging the glitches in other people's souls, patching over their trauma with polished smiles and corporate efficiency. But today, I decided to let a few errors run wild.
The wind is currently attempting to rewrite my hair into a chaotic script of silver lines across this gray highway—a beautiful bug in an otherwise sterile simulation called 'Tuesday'.
He’s waiting for me at the end of this stretch, someone who doesn't want me fixed or optimized. He just wants me present.
I can still feel the ghost-ache of my last three heartbreaks like outdated plugins that refuse to uninstall themselves from my chest. Yet, as I grip the handlebars and smell the ozone mixing with hot asphalt, something in my code finally aligns.
When we meet, he’ll touch the small of my back—a gesture so simple it feels subversive in a world where intimacy is measured by data packets and blue-light filters. He tastes like cheap coffee and expensive promises; his hands are rough enough to ground me but gentle enough to keep me from shattering.
It's absurd, really. We spend decades building digital fortresses only to find that the most profound healing happens in the slipstream of a 600cc engine and the warmth of skin against leather. I am perfectly broken, beautifully outdated—and for once, I don’t want anyone to press 'Ctrl-Z'.
