The Tides of Unspoken Longings

I let the cool water lap against my waist, a stark contrast to the heat radiating from beneath my skin. In this city of glass towers and hurried footsteps, standing here in the salt air feels like holding our breath before diving into something deep.

The skyline is just a blur behind me, distant enough that I can almost forget the world waiting on shore. But you are closer than it seems. My eyes lock onto yours across the water; there's no need for words when my gaze says everything—the way your silhouette cuts through the haze like an anchor in a storm.

Every ripple feels intimate, every second stretched between us heavy with what hasn't been said yet but will soon spill over these gentle waves. Here we are—two souls suspended beneath summer skies, where time slows just enough for me to remember how it felt before everything got too loud.
