If She Takes You Back Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

Congratulations
She hasn’t signed the papers yet
So, there’s nothing definite
You may still have a chance
Don’t loose heart

But, take this advice
from someone concerned about your welfare
If she returns to you
please handle her with the greatest of care

Learn from the experience you had with your ex-girlfriend
All you two could do was snipe at each other
You were caustic and sarcastic
I was shocked, because it was so unlike you

Anyway, the reason for your sarcasm soon became apparent
Both of you were angry about things that had happened in the past

PLEASE DON’T METE OUT THE SAME TREATMENT
to your Beloved
if and when she returns
Talk about the present and the future ONLY

No insinuations
No, censure - please
Life’s far too short for gripes
and, denunciations
You’ll be tempted to talk about the past
Forget it. Its finished
Be nice to her
and, appreciate her for the person she is

She left because:
She didn’t think she was particularly appreciated
Nor, was she made to feel special

For heavens sake
she happens to be the mother of your children
You should be eternally thankful

And, be grateful for this second chance

You believe in miracles
and the miracle might just - inshalla - happen!
