Escape

I was broken,
I decided to go,
I was down,
I decided to come,

I didn't mind the distance,
Neither the unfamiliarity with the place,
Or the costs it take,
I just want to run away,

And as I ran ,
I never thought you would come,
You with the bright smile,
We ran from the cruel place we know,

A thousand steps and we are there,
A place our eyes haven't seen before,
A place our heart had been looking for,
it is the  place we found,

Heartlocks locked on handle of the bridge,
Lovers boating in the grand canal,
Tons of people roaming around,
Taking pictures of the scenes they love,

A place we had been was a real paradise,
Though the distance was quite  far,
With someone to run with,
All the moments are worth it.
