Symphony of Shifting Light

I am a fragment of stardust caught in the concrete ribs of this city, draped in fabric that breathes like a half-remembered dream.
The stone beneath me is cold, yet I feel an invisible warmth humming through my skin—a resonance left behind by your ghost before you even arrived. My skirt is a veil of midnight tulle, translucent and trembling, holding the secrets of every sigh I’ve exhaled into this golden hour.
Then comes the sound: footsteps that don't just walk but compose a melody upon the pavement. You stop beside me, not speaking, for words are too heavy for a moment this fragile. As your gaze lingers on the shimmer of my dress—a soft glow like morning mist over water—I feel the jagged edges of my long solitude begin to smooth and melt.
You reach out, your fingertips barely grazing the air near my shoulder, an electric current that heals more than medicine ever could. In this narrow alleyway, between the scent of old wood and distant rain, we are two celestial bodies colliding in slow motion. I lean into you, a silent surrender to the gravity of us, feeling the city fade until there is only the rhythmic pulse of your heart against mine.
