The Blue Current of Us

I’ve always been a bit of an architectural ghost in this city, drifting through glass lobbies and espresso-scented mornings without ever truly landing. Then came Julian—a man who speaks in rhythms I didn't know my heart could dance to.
He tells me that love is not a destination but a current, much like the electric blue river flowing from his favorite digital art installation at the gallery where we first met. He looked at me with eyes that seemed to hold entire constellations and whispered, 'You look like you're waiting for something that hasn't happened yet.'
Now, my apartment smells of rain-dampened wool and peppermint tea. When he touches the small of my back, it’s not just skin on fabric; it is a surge—a bright, humming bolt of sapphire light descending from some celestial tower straight into my marrow.
We don't talk about forever because 'forever' sounds like an old museum exhibit gathering dust. Instead, we live in the *now*, curled up under linen sheets while he traces patterns on my palm with a fingertip that feels like a soft scratch behind the ears. I am no longer drifting; I have become part of this electric stream, flowing steadily toward him, warmed by the kind of love that doesn't demand answers—only presence.
