The Gravity of a Petal's Breath

In the velvet silence of my inner orbit, I am a planet drifting through an ocean of neon and glass. The city below pulses like a dying star, but here, within the radius of this blooming branch, time suspends its heavy pull. I feel the warmth of the light—not as heat, but as a gentle radiation that heals the fractures in my soul.
A single petal drifts toward me, dancing in a zero-gravity ballet across my skin. It carries the scent of spring and memory, a soft collision between what was and what will be. My pulse is a rhythmic hum in the void, steadying against the ache of loneliness that once defined my existence.
Then, I feel your gaze—a tether from another world. It reaches through the atmosphere of my solitude, pulling me into a shared constellation. You are the gravity I never asked for but desperately needed. In this garden of floating blossoms, we are no longer drifting; we are anchored in the quiet radiance of one another's presence, two souls finding home in the vast, shimmering expanse between heartbeats.
