On a pristine sea beach ,

Fortuitously, we met 

On the background 

Of a beautiful sunset. 

It was after ages ,

We had parted our ways .

There was nothing recognizable ,

Except the eyes 

Which was enough to take us both 

Back to our adolescence days . 

The looks were trying to converse 

To take stock of the bygone years. 

Good that the throats choked the words

As there was no need to bemoan the past. 

It was already late 

But it was not the end . 

We sat down by the waves ,

Started building sand houses ,

Entered into them with care ,

Gazed at each other to share 

The love that was dormant 

And was ready to flare 

Before everything was devised 

For the next wave to clear

And the end of an era was declared.
