In a moment, you too felt the effect of its company. The time it took you to return felt like the long journey of a messenger.

This couplet beautifully captures the profound and swift impact of someone's company. It suggests that in just a moment, you too felt the powerful influence of being with them. And because of that deep connection or absorption, it took you a surprisingly long time to return to your original self or path. It highlights how quickly we can be swayed and how challenging it can be to detach and find our way back once we've been deeply affected by someone's presence and charm.
