"Under neon hum,
they trade secrets like currency—
small truths,
worth more than any coin
they’ve ever held."
"Night buses roar past,
but they stay rooted,
two silhouettes on borrowed ground,
mapping tomorrow
with nothing but hope and a pen."
"Morning finds them laughing,
sharing crumbs and sunlight—
two hearts warming
like hands around
a stolen cup of tea."
"They trade glances
as if they’re secrets,
soft things
they’re still learning
how to hold without breaking."
"On a rooftop edge,
the city humming below,
they lean closer—
not to escape the world,
but to imagine one together."

"They trade glances

"On a rooftop edge,

but to imagine one together."
These verses are a continuance of a series following a teen boy and girl living on the edges of the city, trying to work out where they belong or if theres a place for them at all.
