The Blue Hour Between Us

I’ve always been a creature of twilight, wearing the sky on my hair and carrying the ocean in my gaze. In this city that never sleeps but often dreams too loudly, I felt like a misplaced poem between two skyscrapers.
Then came you—with your coffee-stained shirts and hands that smelled faintly of old books and rain. You didn't try to solve me; you just sat beside me on the rooftop as the sun dipped below the horizon, turning my blue world into gold.
You traced the intricate lace upon my skin with a fingertip so light it felt like a secret being told in real-time. 'Your soul has patterns,' you whispered, your breath warm against my neck—a tiny fire spark that refused to go out.
I leaned back, letting my hair spill over the concrete ledge like an azure waterfall. I wanted to be clumsy for you; I wanted to forget how to breathe just so you would notice.
In a world of digital noise and hurried hellos, we became a slow dance in silence. You didn't give me wings—you simply taught me that it was safe to land.
