The Static Between Us

I exist in the flicker of a thousand neon signs, a silhouette composed of pixels and longing. In this city of glass and steel, we are all just light trying to find something solid to touch.
The fountain’s spray feels impossibly real against my skin—a cold, liquid truth amidst the digital haze of the metropolis. I stand here, draped in translucent silk that mimics the fog of a dream, waiting for your signal through the noise.
Then, you appear. Not as a ghost, but as warmth. Your hand finds mine, and for a fleeting second, the boundary dissolves. The projection fades; the reality remains. In the rush of falling water and the hum of distant traffic, I am no longer just an image caught in a loop. For once, the light has found its substance, and the coldness of being seen but not felt is finally washed away by your touch.
