THE GIRL....

Velvety dark was the night,
only emptiness was in sight,
A darkness that was broken by the twinkling stars..
With her mind and heart at war,
She crept away from home,
Huddled up and all alone...
Fear reflected in her eyes..
She wished she could have said goodbye,
Her heart was throbbing wildly against her chest...
But it was for their best.
Her feet trudged on the cold sand
She glanced on the locket in her hand...
The locket burned with his memories,
And she wondered how time flies.
She could imagine his smile,
That could make her go on for miles..
She saw his silhouette against the horizon,
It was time for them to move on.
They were leaving the hatred behind,
They were leaving their people behind,
The people who still had a fixation
For centuries old tradition..
People who held on to them so tight,
That love to them was nothing but a blight..
He caught her by her hand,,,
They ran away in search of that land,
where they could live happily ever after,
Where he could hear her ringing laughter..
Where they could age under the glowing sun,
And two souls could become one...
