The Softness Between Breaths

The rain blurs the city lights into soft, golden smudges outside our window. I sit here in my favorite lace, feeling your gaze on me like a warm hand resting gently on my shoulder.
We don't need many words tonight. Silence is our most honest conversation.
You lean back against the sofa, and for a moment, time simply stops. My heart beats steadily—a quiet pulse that matches yours in this small room. I reach out to touch your sleeve, letting my fingers linger on the fabric.
It’s not just about being close; it's about how you make me feel seen without saying anything at all. In the hum of the city outside, we have created a sanctuary of skin and silk. Here, in this tiny space between breaths, I am finally home.
