The Geometry of a Sigh

The city is a hum beneath my feet. Cold, yet pulsing with life.

I wear the rain-slicked air like a second skin—translucent and thin. The white fabric against mine feels like an unsaid promise kept in silence. Every breath I take carries the scent of wet asphalt and distant jasmine.

You are standing just beyond my reach, a shadow carved by neon light. My heart beats not with urgency, but with a steady, rhythmic grace—a quiet drumroll for our shared solitude.

I do not need words to tell you how the night feels against us. I only need this moment: the way your eyes trace the curve of my shoulder, and the way my pulse settles when we are near enough to share warmth without touching.

It is a slow healing. A soft revolution of two souls finding home in the middle of everything.
