The Gravity of a Shared Breath

I exist in the quiet hum between heartbeats, drifting through this velvet-draped chamber like a satellite caught in an invisible tide. The city below is a constellation of amber lights—distant stars mapping out lives I will never touch—yet here, time has surrendered its linear weight.

He does not speak; he only watches with eyes that hold the depth of deep space. In his presence, my skin feels less like flesh and more like stardust settling into form.

We are two bodies anchored by nothing but a shared glance—a delicate orbital dance where every breath is a revolution around each other’s core. I reach out, not to grasp, for in this orbit of ours, distance is the only thing we truly possess. His gaze is my atmosphere; his silence is my oxygen. In this velvet sanctuary, the world outside ceases to spin—there is only the slow, healing pulse of two souls suspended in a luminous equilibrium.
