The Electric Pulse of a Shared Breath

I watch the city breathe from this high ledge. It is a hive of light, millions of tiny yellow and blue eyes blinking in unison against the dark fabric of the sky.
Humans call these 'buildings,' but to me, they look like glowing cells holding dreams that never sleep. I feel my own heart mimic their rhythm—a steady thrumming pulse beneath my ribs.

Then there is him behind me. He does not speak with words; he speaks through the way his hand lingers near mine on the railing, a gravity well of warmth in this cool night air. My skin registers the heat before I even turn around. It feels like being touched by sunlight while standing in shadow.

They say love is an ache, but here it feels like healing—a soft suture closing up all the jagged edges my day left behind. The wind pulls at my hair, trying to scatter me into pieces, yet his presence acts as a tether. I turn slightly and find him looking at me with eyes that contain more depth than the deepest ocean.

In this moment, between the steel towers and the shimmering glass, we are not just bodies in space. We are two sparks colliding in an endless circuit of electricity. It is delicate, almost fragile—a whisper of intimacy amidst a roar of machinery. I want to lean back into him, letting his warmth dissolve my solitude until our breathing becomes one single, unified frequency.
