The Sapphire Silence Between Us

In the city above, time is a jagged thing—broken by deadlines and the relentless hum of neon lights. But here, beneath the shimmering veil of turquoise water, gravity becomes a suggestion and silence becomes my only language.
I remember how you looked at me from the pool's edge before I dove in; your eyes held a warmth that felt like sunlight filtering through deep oceans. We had spent months dancing around words we were too afraid to speak, two souls drifting in the same urban current but never quite touching.
Now, as I curl into myself within this liquid sapphire sky, I feel you watching me. The water carries your gaze like a gentle caress against my skin. For once, there is no noise to drown out the heartbeat of us. My purple bikini glitters like crushed stardust in the filtered light, and for a moment, I am not just a woman—I am a dream floating in your waking world.
When I finally break the surface, gasping for air that tastes of chlorine and summer, you will be there to catch me. And this time, we won't let go.
