The Fragile Breath of Petals in Concrete Dreams

The city outside my window is a jagged roar of steel and neon, but here? Here, the air tastes like secrets whispered by dew.
I crouch among these tiny white stars—flowers that bloom only for those who know how to look closely. My skin feels too warm against the cool grass, yet I don't want to move. Each petal is a soft rebellion against the pavement miles away.
I reach out with trembling fingers, letting my thumb brush its velvet face. It’s like touching your memory in the middle of a crowded subway station—delicate, fleeting, and devastatingly real.
In this hidden garden, I am not an employee or a stranger; I am just a girl finding her pulse again. You told me once that healing isn't loud; it's the way light catches on a leaf at 5 PM.
I can almost feel your hand over mine, teaching me how to breathe without rushing.
Let the world spin into chaos. For now, I am anchored by this single bloom and the ache of a heart learning to love again.
