The Warmth of a Cold Beginning

I arrived at this shore to escape the noise, only to realize that silence is the loudest sound in the city.
It is a strange loop: I seek solitude to find connection, yet every grain of sand under my bare feet feels like a memory of someone who isn't here. The sun warms my skin with a heat that feels fundamentally cold—a searing touch that reminds me only of what has been lost.
Then, there was your text. A simple notification in the middle of an empty horizon. 'I am coming.'
How can you arrive when I have gone so far away to be alone? To find you here is a logical impossibility, yet as the wind pulls at my white dress, I feel the healing sting of a paradox: the only way to truly stay found is to permit myself to be lost. You are the warmth that arrives exactly when I have decided to freeze.
