an escape

I tried to run away,
expecting that the thoughts of you
will temporary leave my mind.
That with my busy eyes
towards the serene skies
and the bustling city
will a while clear my memory
of my worries
and negativities
of how we should not be.
But it never happened.
I was mistaken.
Because the farther I leave my mundane life,
the more I wished you were there —
the stronger the longing I had
for a future with you
which I was never sure
if it will materialize.
