The Night I Defied the Earth's Pull

I stood at the water’s edge, where gravity usually pins me to concrete and routine. But tonight, in my midnight-blue gown, I felt untethered.

The city lights shimmering on the harbor weren't just reflections; they were buoyant currents pulling upward through my pores. The warmth of that distant glow didn’t heat skin so much as it dissolved bone by bone until only desire remained.

He watched from somewhere beyond those white sails — not with eyes, but with a gravitational field entirely his own.

I could feel him before I saw him: the way air thickened around my collarbone when he whispered something impossible across three hundred meters of saltwater. My dress pooled behind me like liquid shadow refusing to obey physics.

Love here was not an anchor; it’s a helium balloon tied too loosely, drifting just out of reach yet promising lift if I dared step forward.

I did — one toe over the stone ledge into space where logic fails and longing takes flight.
