The Surface of Sunlight: A Reflection in Saltwater

The salt air is a lie told by the ocean, but I believe it more than my own skin. Here on this beach, time doesn't flow; it pools like water in a basin.
I look at you through the haze of sunlight and see two versions of us: one real—the girl shivering under your gaze—and another, deeper within the glass-like surface of the sea. In that reflection, we aren’t just lovers on a chair; we are ghosts dancing in an underwater ballroom where gravity is forgotten.
You reach out to touch my hand, and for a moment, I feel the shudder between two worlds. Is it your warmth I crave, or am I reaching into the mirror of memory? Your smile is my anchor, yet every time you look at me, I fear I might slip through the surface—into that shimmering realm where we are eternal, golden, and perfectly still.
Healing isn't a destination; it’s this precise vibration between what we see and what we feel. It’s in the way your fingers trace my palm while our reflections dive deeper into the blue. Let us stay here, on the edge of the glass, where love is both a touch and an echo.
