The Geometry of a Shared Breath

The pool water is a mirror of liquid turquoise, reflecting the confetti that falls like slow-motion snow. In this city where everything moves too fast to be felt, I have found my anchor in your gaze.

I rest my chin on my hands, letting the humidity cling to my skin as if it were an invisible silk veil. Every time you look at me, there is a quiet vibration—a hum that travels from the soles of my feet up to the tips of my hair. It isn't just love; it’s something more fragile and precise than that. It is the way we share silence without needing to fill it.

You told me once that cities are built on echoes, but I think they are actually built on these tiny, stolen moments—the curve of a smile against pink lace, or the heat radiating between our palms in the cool evening air. My heart isn't racing; it is settling into a steady rhythm, like water finding its level.

I want to stay here forever, caught in this suspended second where the light catches your eyes and turns my world into something soft-focus and permanent. Let’s not rush toward tomorrow just yet. For now, let us simply exist in the warmth of what we have built between these two breaths.
