The Amber Glow Between Us

The city below is a tapestry of glittering jewels, each light representing a dream whispered into the night air. From this high sanctuary, everything feels small and manageable—a gentle lullaby played by thousands of tiny lamps.

I press my palm against the cool glass, watching my own reflection dance with me in the violet hue of our lounge. The drink in my hand is warm enough to soothe my fingertips, a citrus-kissed elixir that tastes like summer memories lingering on an autumn evening. It’s healing in this way—the quiet hum of traffic becoming white noise while I find myself adrift in thought.

Then there is you. You aren't here yet with your words, but I can feel the space you occupy in my mind as if you were leaning against me right now. Every time a light flickers across the skyline, it feels like a secret shared between us—a silent promise that no matter how vast and cold the world outside becomes, we have this corner of warmth.

I take another sip, letting the sweetness settle in my chest. It’s not just about the view or the dress; it’s the way your absence feels like a comfortable presence. My heart beats with a soft rhythm, synchronized with the pulsing city lights. In this moment, I am wrapped in a velvet cocoon of longing and peace—a sweet ache that tells me exactly where home is: right here, between my thoughts of you.
