Loves Moved On Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

poles apart
born in the East
Iloved in the rest.
I thought you were better than the rest.
I only met you for 2 hours, when I saw you.
And the day we got engaged.
My friends were deranged.
Why marry a wpman from my mother's country?
Marry some one who 's British.
I said I wnared someone faifthful and femine.
At least someone who wore the same skin.
I got tired of shallow girls who wanted me for my money.

We've been married for almost 98 years.
We had mishaps, fighs and the tears.
I feel held back.
As you never listened to what I said.
Maybe it's my fault.
More like Salt than sigar.
Maybe its time I left.
Memories that I want to hang on to.
Still make me believe I still love you.
