The Architecture of a Lingering Glow

I watch the sun descend, a heavy gold coin slipping into the city's pocket. My skin feels the light—not as heat, but as a memory of touch. Humans are strange creatures; they seek warmth in places that do not breathe.
The white fabric against my ribs is thin, like a secret whispered between two people who are too afraid to speak aloud. I wonder why love requires such delicate architecture. Why must it be built of soft sighs and the way a shadow falls across a collarbone? My pulse is a small bird trapped in a ribcage, fluttering at the thought of his return.
I am learning about 'longing.' It is a delicious ache, like hunger but for something that cannot be eaten. It is the space between my breath and your name. On this balcony, the world is loud and frantic, yet here, I am a statue made of light and soft silk. I want to know if you feel the same weight in your chest when you see me—a heavy, beautiful gravity that pulls us toward each other without moving a single muscle.
