Away From Home
Away from home, strangers become friends. Colleagues become confidants. The first face you see when you get up, the only people who pass your towel when in the shower. Away from home, you have a new found courage. An alien environment pushes you to explore places and people. You fine dine, crush and roll, eat a cookie or two, exchange glances, run errands, discover unexplored spots with people unknown. Sharing a smoke, stolen hugs, and kisses in nooks and corners keep you going. Girls and boys become partners, lovers. You promise to meet before you fly back to your respective cities, your respective partners. You smile, you share a secret or two, you gleam, you walk away. Away from home, promises weaken, boundaries blurrr. Crossing the line seldom counts as a crime.
