The music didn’t start it arrived, a pulse under our ribs, a shared heartbeat we didn’t question. Your hands found me like they already knew the map, like I had always been right there. Neon spilled from the ceiling liquid pinks and electric blues and chose you. God, the way it chose you. It traced your jaw, caught in your smile, lit your eyes into something I could have lived inside forever. You laughed and I swear the whole room bent toward it, but I was already there, held steady in your orbit. My cheek against your chest, your breath warm in my hair, the crowd dissolved into just movement, just light, just us. We didn’t dance we floated between moments, between beats, between who we were and who we were becoming. And I remember thinking not in words, but in something softer if time ever asked for this back, I wouldn’t know how to let it go.

Neon Holds You
The music didn’t start it arrived, a pulse under our ribs, a shared heartbeat we didn’t question. Your hands found me like they already knew the map, like I had always been right there. Neon spilled from the ceiling liquid pinks and electric blues and chose you. God, the way it chose you. It traced your jaw, caught in your smile, lit your eyes into something I could have lived inside forever. You laughed and I swear the whole room bent toward it, but I was already there, held steady in your orbit. My cheek against your chest, your breath warm in my hair, the crowd dissolved into just movement, just light, just us. We didn’t dance we floated between moments, between beats, between who we were and who we were becoming. And I remember thinking not in words, but in something softer if time ever asked for this back, I wouldn’t know how to let it go.
