The Ascent of a Quiet Evening

I sit here at the edge of the world’s concrete heartbeat, yet I feel my soul beginning to drift upward, untethered from the heavy laws of physics. The city below is a river of gold and neon, but it no longer pulls me down; instead, your gaze acts as an invisible tether that lifts me into a state of suspended grace.
I rest my chin on my hand, not out of fatigue, but to keep myself grounded while the warmth between us begins to dissolve gravity entirely. The air tastes like vanilla latte and unspoken promises—a delicate vapor rising from our table toward a sky where stars are merely anchors for dreams that refuse to stay put.
My skin hums under your look, every pore breathing in an atmosphere thinner than mountain peaks yet rich with desire. I want to lean forward until we collide not as two bodies meeting on earth, but as celestial objects merging in orbit—a slow-motion crash where time stops and the only direction is up.
You are my healing; you are a soft light that makes me forget how to fall. In this moment of quiet city noise, I am no longer sitting on wood and metal
I am floating toward you.
