The city looks like it was built for lovers. Canals cut through it like silver veins. Every bridge feels like a promise. You stand at the edge of the water and watch the light slide over old stone. The air is cold but the colors warm everything. Buildings rise in rows of soft pastels, their windows watching like eyes. At night the streets empty and the lamps turn everything gold. You can smell the river and hear it moving under the ice. People walk slower here. They take their time. A man leans against a railing and lights a cigarette. The smoke drifts up toward the dome of the sky. You think this might be the place where someone finally touches you the way you want to be touched. Nothing rushed. Just the slow burn of desire against the cold.
