Episode 80: Lost in You

When you’re near, the world falls quiet— like every sound bends toward your name, and even the air forgets to move unless it’s to carry your breath to me. I have run from things I couldn’t face, but never from you. Your eyes find me, root me to the earth, make stillness feel like truth. Each word you speak pours through me, turning fear into something tender. In your arms, the past dissolves— the edges of my life blur and fade, until there is only now, only your heartbeat teaching mine to follow. You spin me into orbit, a star surrendered to its gravity. Your touch leaves trails of memory, and your kiss burns through reason— beautiful, reckless, infinite. I am lost, and I don’t want saving. Drowning feels like flying here, where every breath is borrowed from you. If love is a storm, let it tear through me; if love is ruin, let me burn clean. I give myself over, body and soul, to the perfect undoing of your name. Your scent lingers after the silence— a prayer whispered into the dark. You move, and time bends around you. I try to look away, but the world turns back to find your face. You are my undoing, my calm, my wind— the ache I crave, the cure I fear. In the hollow of your arms, I remember what it means to feel infinite. You stitch light into my scars, teach brokenness how to shine. If this love is wrong, then let it be endless. I’d rather lose myself completely than stand whole without you. See me falling— heart first, breathless, undone. If this dream is all I have, don’t wake me. Let the dawn wait outside a little longer. For in every reflection, I find your soul; in every heartbeat, I return to the quiet fire where I’m forever lost in you.Written by https://substack.com/@chicandchillingreads This is a public episode.
