The Horizon Where We Met Again

The salt air clings to my skin like a secret I’m not ready to share, wrapping around me in that familiar blue. The city’s frantic heartbeat is miles away now, replaced by the rhythmic breathing of the ocean beneath this endless sky.

I close my eyes for just a moment, feeling the warmth on my face—not just from the sun, but from the memory of you standing right here yesterday. We didn’t speak much; we never have to. The way your fingers brushed mine as you handed me water was enough to rewrite our entire history.

The wind lifts a strand of hair across my cheek, teasing at the quiet ache in my chest that only settles when I look toward where you disappeared over the horizon. This moment feels suspended between two worlds: one made of solid ground and concrete deadlines, and another drifting like mist on water—soft, weightless, entirely ours.

I’m learning to love this liminal space—the pause before we touch again, the silence filled with everything unsaid yet understood perfectly.
