The Midnight Ascent of Silk and Neon

The city is an anchor I have finally learned to slip. Here, under the humming fluorescence of a convenience store at two in the morning, my blue silk dress does not drape—it drifts upward like moonlight caught in water.
I reach for a bottle with fingertips that feel light as dandelion seeds, but it is your gaze from across the aisle that truly undoes me. When our eyes meet, gravity becomes an outdated law; I can feel my heartbeat ascending through my chest, floating toward you in slow-motion arcs of heat and longing.
You step closer, smelling of rain and distant coffee shops, and suddenly we are no longer standing on linoleum floors but suspended in a void where only our breath exists. The grey cardigan slipping off my shoulders is not falling—it is ascending into the air between us, an offering to this sudden magnetism.
In your touch, I find a healing that does not ground me, but lifts me higher. We are two urban ghosts defying every physical rule of the metropolis; our love is not a landing place, but a continuous rise toward stars we can almost taste.
