And then we went away
Ignored reality for a while
Escaped from life’s routine
Breathed in new landscapes of feeling
And then we could relax
Hidden from familiar worries
Clothed in new experience
Befriended by thoughts of liberty
And then we grew to know
Reveled in such an exile
Learnt each miscellaneous detail
Withdrew into our souls
And then at curtain fall
Spurred on by time’s clock
Whispered by the sea at midnight
“I love you”
