The Weightless Geometry of Us

The pavement beneath my feet is cold, yet I feel as though I am floating on a sea of light. My silver dress catches every flicker from the billboards—a shimmering skin that belongs to no one but me. Around me, the world moves in fast-forward: faces blurred by urgency, voices lost to the hum of traffic.

I spin because I need to feel my own weight in this vastness. Every turn is a question asked into the wind. Is it enough to be seen? Or must I be felt?

Then, I see you. You are standing by the edge of the crowd, a steady point in a swirling tide. Our eyes meet for a heartbeat—longer than any glance should be. It isn't a confession; it is merely an acknowledgment. A shared breath between two strangers who know exactly how lonely it feels to be beautiful in a city that never sleeps. In that moment, the noise falls away. The silver of my dress reflects only your quiet warmth. For once, the world doesn't move too fast. It just stays right here, suspended in the grace of our silence.
