Threads of a Velvet Sigh

The city hums like a hive, a symphony of footsteps against asphalt and the sharp bite of cold air. I wear this cloud-spun coat not just for warmth, but as an anchor to my own drifting soul. Here, among the rushing ghosts in suits and shadows, I feel like a secret whispered into the wind.

Everything moves too fast—the neon signs blur into watercolor streaks, and faces are mere flickers of light. But then, there is you. Or perhaps it's just the memory of who I want to be when I look at you. My hand reaches out, not quite touching, a bridge made of air and longing.

Can you feel it? The way the wool catches the frost of the morning? It’s a tiny rebellion against the concrete. I want to pull you into my circle of soft light, where time doesn't tick but flows like honey. Let me be your sanctuary for just a heartbeat—a pause in the chaos, a stolen breath of warmth before the city swallows us whole again.
