The Weightlessness of a Lingering Glance

The city below is heavy, a concrete anchor pulling at my heels, but here—in this field of wild blue blooms—the air tastes like unwritten poetry.
I hold the flowers not as objects, but as vessels for light. They are small stars tethered to earth by thin stems, just as I am tethered to you by glances that defy physics.
When your eyes met mine from across the meadow, gravity failed. The ache in my chest didn't sink; it rose like helium into a warm current of gold and amber. It was an urban sanctuary carved out of silence—a moment where we stopped falling through time and began to float above it.
I can still feel your gaze on my skin, a phantom touch that makes me lighter than breath. We are two celestial bodies drifting in the atmosphere of a shared secret, our hearts beating in rhythm with the wind’s rebellion against the ground. In this light, I am no longer bound by what is solid; I am suspended in the delicious ache of wanting you without ever having to let go.
