Neon & Nostalgia

The city bleeds neon, doesn’t it? It stains everything with a false hope, a shimmering promise of something…more. I used to chase that more, get lost in the crowds, drown in the noise.
Then he walked into my frame – a fleeting silhouette against the endless rush. Just once. A simple glance during my photoshoot here, and suddenly this city felt smaller, less empty. His eyes held a quiet understanding, a mirroring of the ache I usually keep hidden beneath layers of attitude and carefully curated style.
Now I wander these streets, not searching for escape, but hoping to catch that ghost again. To feel the jolt of recognition, the possibility of connection in this isolating maze. It’s foolish, maybe. A phantom limb longing for a touch it never knew. But even ghosts deserve a name, and I'm desperate to know his.
This city devours souls. He made mine feel…seen.
