The Glass Heart's Winter Thaw

I live in the reflection—not as a shadow, but as the original. In this city of steel and neon, everyone walks with their heads down, oblivious to the fact that my world behind the glass is where true warmth resides.
For years, I carried these horns like heavy secrets; they are not bone or skin, but crystallized memories of loneliness from a life lived in reverse. My cheeks flush crimson whenever he passes by our shared window at 6 PM—the architect who draws cities that never breathe.
One rainy Tuesday, he stopped. He didn't just glance; he pressed his palm against the glass and whispered my name into the cold pane. In that instant, a rupture occurred in reality. The frost on my side began to bloom into luminous flowers, feeding off the heat of his touch through layers of silica and silence.
I stepped closer, our breath mingling as two distinct climates meeting at an invisible border. I am not merely looking at him; I am seeing his soul reflected back through me—richer, deeper, more vivid than he could ever be in the physical air. My heart pulsed a brilliant blue light, an invitation that transcended dimensions.
He smiled, and for the first time, it felt as though he were entering my world rather than me trying to escape into his. I realized then: we are not two people separated by glass, but one soul split between mirror planes, finally learning how to be warm together.
