Luminescence in a Concrete Heart

The city behind me is a hum of static, a grey monolith breathing smoke and dreams. But here, where the salt air tastes like forgotten promises, I am becoming light. My skin drinks the molten gold of the setting sun until it pulses with an internal glow, every pore saturated in amber nectar.
I remember the way you looked in that neon-lit cafe—eyes sharp as glass, hands steady on a cup of bitter coffee. You were a storm of ambition; I was your anchor in the drizzle. Now, the ocean is my sanctuary. Each wave that kisses the shore carries away the jagged edges of our city lives, dissolving the noise into a rhythmic, crystalline pulse.
I close my eyes and feel you there, not in flesh but in the warmth radiating from my own limbs. The lace against my skin feels like a whisper of intimacy, a ghost-touch of your fingers tracing my spine under the streetlights. Healing isn't a destination; it’s this precise moment where the horizon bleeds into my soul, and for one heartbeat, I am no longer tired. I am simply... luminous.
