The Orbit of a Sigh

The city below is a heavy tapestry of steel and concrete, yet here, within this glass capsule, gravity feels like a lie we agreed to believe. I sit suspended between the earth and the sky, my skin drinking in the pale warmth of a sun that refuses to set on our shared silence.

My breath rises, a small ghost of heat escaping my lips, drifting upward toward the ceiling where it dissolves into nothingness. Every time his hand brushes against mine—a light, fleeting contact—the ground beneath us seems to dissolve. It is not just affection; it is an insurrection against the pull of the world. We are defying the mass of our lives, shedding the weight of expectations like old skin.

I look at him through a veil of soft focus, and in that gaze, I find my healing. The noise of the street fades into a hum, a distant vibration that cannot reach this sanctuary. Here, my heart doesn't beat; it floats. It rises against my ribs like a bird seeking the highest branch. In this suspended moment, love is not a tether to the ground—it is the very force that allows us to drift away from it.
