I was asked years back what I thought my future would look like
It was a lover making the inquiry, whether I will be married or still as I am
I had no idea what to reply; I wanted love, but I wasn’t ready
It was a funny and hard place to be
For you to watch someone who loves you slip in the hands of someone they had to choose
Just because you aren’t ready
The past wasn’t so good, I guess
IMAGE CREDIT IS MINE
Many years behind us, and we still have several beauties around us
Now we are ready but still yet to pick
Sometimes I regret I never picked my lover
True love these days is so scarce
It’s not about riches or your being perfect
A cheating spirit is on the rampage to make people love more than a person
How painful, how heartbreaking
Guess the present isn’t perfect, but at least we are ready for love
Tomorrow is best tagged as unknown
Although we have several dreams on our list
Some achieved, achieving some, and on our way to the fulfillment of others
The future in view is something so pleasant to behold
God willing, it is a world we want to live in
The past is bad, the present is good, and the future is bright.
