In a world of gilded cages, a symphony of lies,
We met, two souls entangled, with love in our eyes.
No titles bound us, no duty held sway,
But societal shackles threatened our love's display.
You, a forbidden melody, a whisper in the night,
A rebel's heart that yearned for freedom's gentle light.
I, a prisoner of expectations, a gilded crown I wore,
But in your gaze, I saw a future I craved and yearned for more.
Stolen glances, secret notes tucked in ballroom gowns,
Our love, a clandestine dance, a waltz on forbidden grounds.
Whispered promises beneath a moonlit sky,
A shared dream of escape, where hearts could truly fly.
We planned our exodus, a moonless night our guide,
Leaving behind the gilded cage, where dreams and hope had died.
No grand pronouncements, no public display,
Just a yearning for freedom, to live another day.
Across the moonlit meadows, hand in trembling hand,
We raced towards the distant horizon, a promised, unknown land.
Leaving behind whispers and judgmental stares,
We chased the sunrise, a future free from cares.
Forests whispered secrets, as we wandered through the night,
Stars our only compass, guiding us with gentle light.
Fear gnawed at my heart, doubt a constant hum,
But your unwavering hand, kept me moving, overcoming.
We crossed raging rivers, climbed mountains made of stone,
Our love, the fuel that kept us going, never to be alone.
Each hardship faced, a testament to our bond,
A love that defied expectations, forever growing strong.
Finally, a hidden cove, a haven bathed in light,
A place where love could blossom, hidden from the world's sight.
A simple cottage, a life built hand in hand,
A love story whispered, written on the shifting sand.
No gilded cages here, no societal chains,
Just the rhythm of the ocean, washing away the stains
Of a past life, a world that sought to bind,
Replaced by a symphony of freedom, where love we could truly find.
We built a life together, simple yet profound,
Our love, the foundation on which our happiness was found.
The whispers of the world faded with each passing day,
Replaced by the laughter of children at play.
Years turned into decades, our love an unwavering flame,
A testament to the power of escape, whispered in love's sweet name.
For in defying the world, and chasing our hearts' desire,
We found a love that was true, a love that set our souls on fire.
So let them whisper, let them judge, of our unconventional start,
For in our love escape, we found a masterpiece of the heart.
A story whispered on the wind, a beacon for all to see,
That love conquers all, even the chains of society.
