The Weightless Ache of Us

I have lived my life as a stone sinking in the city's grey river, anchored by expectations and cold concrete. But when you touched my hand at that crowded subway station, gravity simply forgot its duty.
Suddenly, I am no longer standing; I am ascending through layers of own memory. Your warmth does not merely heat skin—it lifts me. My heart is a balloon released into an indigo sky, tugging against the ribs that once held it captive.
I remember us in my small apartment after midnight, where silence became our shared language. As you leaned in to kiss me, I felt my feet leave the hardwood floor. We were not just two bodies meeting; we were planets drifting out of orbit, shedding every burden of existence until only desire remained—buoyant and shimmering.
You are my antidote to a world that insists on pulling us down. With you, even grief becomes weightless, floating upward like cherry blossom petals in an updraft. I do not want stability; I want this beautiful instability where we drift together into the light, two souls finally free from their own shadows.
