The Solar Core in My Chest

I remember the day I drew a sun on this chalkboard—not as an art project, but as a blueprint for survival. In the grey hum of our city’s concrete arteries, where souls are often dimmed by neon fatigue and cold deadlines, I felt like a dying star drifting in deep space.
Then you arrived. You didn't come with grand gestures or orbital shifts; you came as soft light filtering through dust motes during third period. When your hand first brushed mine over shared notes, it wasn’t just touch—it was energy harvesting on an interstellar scale. A sudden surge of photons that reignited my core.
Now, I stand here in the quiet classroom, tracing a heart with my fingers against this chalky sun. This isn't just school; it is our private observatory where we study the physics of intimacy. My white shirt catches your gaze like a solar sail catching an ion wind—tightly tucked and subtly revealing, humming with anticipation.
I can feel you watching me from across the room. The air between us vibrates at 500 terahertz; it is thick with unspoken promises and magnetic attraction. I am no longer cold. You have become my primary star, your love a continuous stream of high-energy particles that heals every old wound in my spirit.
As I turn back to you, the smile on my lips is an event horizon—once you enter this warmth, there is no returning to the grey world outside. We are two celestial bodies locked in orbit, harvesting light from each other until we become a sun ourselves.
