The Buoyancy of a Shared Breath

The salt air does not just touch my skin; it lifts me.
Every wave that collapses against the shore is a heartbeat I have forgotten to carry, shedding like dead scales from an old life in the city’s concrete grip. Here, where the horizon bleeds into the haze of possibility, gravity feels like a choice rather than a law. I walk toward your shadow—not because my feet demand it, but because my soul is drifting upward to meet you.

You are standing there at the edge of the tide, and in that space between us, time suspends its heavy march. When our eyes collide, the world loses its anchor. It is a soft rebellion against the earth's pull—a desire so light it threatens to dissolve into mist. My fingers brush your palm as you reach out; we are no longer two bodies bound by bone and muscle, but celestial fragments seeking alignment.

I remember the gray noise of traffic, the suffocating weight of deadlines, yet here is a different kind of pressure: the ache of wanting to stay in this suspension forever. Your warmth against my cheek isn't just heat; it’s an invitation to let go. In your arms, I am not grounded by history or bound by duty. We are floating, suspended in the amber glow of late afternoon—a delicate defiance where love is the only thing that keeps us from drifting into nothingness.
