Where the Sun Meets Silence

The city below is a tapestry of amber and grey, each window a tiny lantern in the gathering dusk. I lean against the railing, feeling the cool metal bite gently into my skin while the humidity of the evening wraps around me like a silk veil.
I do not look for him in the crowd, nor do I wait for his name to echo through the glass. Love is not always a chase; sometimes it is simply allowing oneself to exist within its radius without demanding a destination. My breath catches as the sun kisses my shoulders, turning the white fabric against my skin into something sacred and still.
I am learning that healing isn't a destination you reach by running faster. It is the way I can stand here, suspended between the sky and the concrete, and feel whole without needing to be held. The wind carries the scent of rain and roasted coffee—the city’s own quiet prayer.
Let it be. Let the light fade. Let my heart settle into its own rhythm. For now, this moment is enough.
