The love in Jail

I should like to say that I have so many memories of the most interesting one is about the jail in years, 75-76 which both of us were poisoned at that time. Of course, we were in solitary confinements I was at No.20, and he was at No.18, and there was one other room between us. But I could contact with him. Using the Morse signs I told something to my next-door and he transferred those signs to him and he returned me reply in this case. And during a day several times we greeted each other in this way.                                   

Sometimes we talked through the curtains between the cells when we were out of the cells when the guards were not watching us. We did this for several times and even kissed each other afar.
