Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

Agreed I loved you intensely until yesterday
But, yesterday was yesterday

Then, you hadn’t been unfaithful to me
Or - at least, I hadn’t heard about it

But, today’s another day
And, there’s absolutely no turning back
No accusations
No retribution
Only sadness and distress
I’ve packed my bags
That’s it!
I’m leaving you

With an absolute resolve
to move on

I won’t be crazy enough to
repeat the mistake
of letting anyone else
into my life
So, there’s just no chance
of me getting my fingers burnt
by anyone
ever again!

I’m going to be totally and utterly
miserably
Inderpendent


However on reflection
After seething and fermenting
in my new surroundings
i begin to consider this:

O,
how I wish..
I wish, I could
shut away all the moments I spent with you
in the back of some cupboard -or, an old suitcase
and, forget I ever knew you
or, heard of your existence

But, what good would that do?
Your memory will still stay with me
night and day
And, no one - and, nothing
can ever take that away

So darling -
no matter what the distance
I’m stuck to you
and, you’re stuck to me
like glue
