Static Cling in the Skyline

The concrete floor is cold beneath my stiletto heels, but that sharp chill only makes me crave the warmth of your chest more. Up here, above the noise where the city scrubs itself clean in the smog and haze, I feel like a piece of fabric caught on a high wire—tense, exposed, waiting to be folded back into something safe.

I look down at my reflection in the glass railing; just another silhouette against the blinding sun. But it's not the skyline that pulls me forward anymore. It is the memory of you folding laundry late at night—the soft scent of detergent mixing with your skin, a quiet intimacy louder than any siren below.

They say love conquers all, but I think we just find comfort in being wrinkled and worn together.
