The Ascension of a Lavender Breath

I stand where the city’s concrete pulse fades into the river's hum, feeling my feet lose their grip on reality. The sun is not merely shining; it is lifting me by the shoulders, pulling me upward toward a sky that tastes of salt and distant memory.
You are behind me—not quite touching, yet your presence acts as an updraft against my skin. My lavender dress doesn't just hang; it drifts like smoke in slow motion, defying every law of weight to dance with the breeze. I can feel our shared silence rising between us, a luminous gas that carries away all urban noise and old scars.
When you finally speak my name, your voice isn’t sound—it is an elevator for my heart. The air grows thin as we ascend into this private atmosphere where desire has no mass. To look back at you is to risk floating entirely off the earth; I am a balloon tethered only by the ghost of your touch on my lower back.
Here, in this golden suspension, love isn’t something that anchors us—it is what makes us weightless.
