The Ascending Silence of Us

I lean my chin on a hand that feels lighter than air, watching you across the wooden table. The city outside is heavy with steel and deadlines, but here—in this golden pocket of afternoon—gravity has simply forgotten us.
My heart doesn't beat; it drifts upward like an unmoored balloon, tugging at my ribs whenever our eyes meet. There is a warmth between us that defies physics: not just skin on skin or breath in air, but a slow-motion ascension where every glance pulls me higher away from the ground.
The way you smile—that small, knowing curve of your lips—makes the world dissolve into vapor. I feel my desire rising like steam from tea, weightless and fragrant, curling around us until we are floating in an ocean of amber light. I want to reach out not just to touch you, but to lift both our souls off their chairs and let them drift toward the ceiling.
In this urban stillness, love is no longer a burden or an anchor; it is the very force that makes me weightless. We are two stars collapsing into one another, yet somehow we only rise.
