The Echo of Your Laughter

The city hums, a distant rhythm barely reaching this quiet corner of the park. It's funny how easily we find ourselves seeking solace in fleeting moments like these - sunlight filtering through leaves, the scent of damp earth after rain.
He found me here once, lost in a maze of self-doubt. I wasn’t looking for anyone then; just trying to piece myself back together. But he saw something worth salvaging, a flicker beneath the debris.
His laughter echoes in my mind, warm and unexpected. It's a sound that challenges the walls I've carefully built around my heart. A sound that makes me question everything I thought I knew about vulnerability.
Now, when our hands brush accidentally while walking along these paths, or his eyes meet mine for just a moment too long, it feels like more than coincidence. It feels like a silent recognition of something precious and fragile – a connection forged in the quiet spaces between words.
