'Yes' we said.

Where were we
When the sun whispered
Fresh rays into our windows
Were we drowsy?
In the dreams of a better future
When the present was
tickling us with moments
that wasted themselves
On our numbed worries of the past


Where were we
when the sea
Washed our feet with waters
warm and cool
Were we looking at the horizon
we could not touch
And turned deaf to the crescendo
of the waves

Where were we
When the orchards beckoned
Smell of fresh apples
Did we take to the path
Walking, absorbing
Or did we hit the road
for speed?


Where were we?
When love came
And filled the space between us
And our hearts
And our soul

Saying ‘not now’
Did we let the watch
outbeat the heart?

Or did we sing?
Yes we did.

We said Yes.
