In twilight's embrace, we took flight,
A dear friend and I, on wings of delight.
The evening unfolded, a tapestry rare,
As time slipped away, leaving naught to compare.
Walking side by side, in rhythm and stride,
The world around us, a tranquil divide.
With each step we took, burdens seemed to fade,
And laughter cascaded, like a serenade.
A coffee break beckoned, a respite well earned,
We sat and we talked, our spirits sojourned.
In cups of warmth, shared stories unfurled,
Unveiling treasures from a forgotten world.
Oh, how we were younger, the years cast away,
In the presence of friendship, where time couldn't sway.
Like ethereal beings, on clouds we did float,
Bathing in memories and dreams our memories evoked.
Unleashing the dormant, untapped wellspring,
We found hidden energy, a rejuvenating ring.
Smiles danced on our lips, like notes of a song,
As the hours danced by, swift and strong.
The moments we missed, lost in the fray,
Dispersed into nothingness, vanished away.
For in this enchanted eve, our hearts were entwined,
And the passage of years, a notion maligned.
Through shared laughter and gentle reprieve,
We found solace in harmony, an exquisite weave.
Time wore no mask, as we basked in the bliss,
A treasured evening, forever reminisced.
As darkness embraced the celestial blue,
We bid farewell, with hearts anew.
But the bond we forged, forever shall stay,
An evening immortal, in memory's bouquet.
For in that cherished encounter, we found,
A timeless connection, profound and unbound.
And though the clock marches on, without cease,
That evening's magic grants eternal peace.
