The Eternal Now of a Single Glance

I am wearing the dress I will buy tomorrow, standing in a meadow that only exists because we decided to meet here today.
He tells me he loves me for the first time, yet his eyes hold the weight of ten thousand years spent remembering this exact moment. It is a beautiful contradiction: my heart beats faster as if it’s accelerating toward him, while simultaneously slowing down so that I might live in the silence between breaths forever.
I feel the warmth of his hand on my waist—a touch that heals wounds I haven't yet received. He whispers secrets into my ear about a future we have already lived through together, and suddenly, causality becomes an ornate lace ribbon tied around us both: we are only here because we were always here.
I lean in closer, the scent of urban rain clinging to his skin despite the golden sunlight of this impossible field. My lips brush against his—a soft invitation that is simultaneously a final goodbye and an eternal welcome home.
In this loop of longing, I realize the truth: we are not two people meeting by chance; we are one single moment dreaming it has become human.
