Indifference considered in a broken moment Steals the essence of your heart, your very soul Though it offers a temporal escape It wouldn't do for the long haul
Live for the moment Live and learn Learn to love Only then would you truly see
Victims of love un-requited Each and all You and I Only then would you truly see
Under the sky I'll patiently wait
This is an acrostic which I penned for my lady friend with the hope of coaxing her out of her indifference towards me.
Needless to say that the idea fell flat on its face! :/ I probably would have been better off had I not tried.
NOTE TO FUTURE-SELF: If you ever get to gain access to a time-travelling mechanism, please go back in time and stop the "past you" from writing this! "Present me" - who'll be "past you" by then - would very much appreciate it.
Yours sincerely, Me, you, us (Whichever would float your boat then :) if there even will be boats by then :p )
P.S.: feel free to dial back to all the moments that "past us" has ever acted like an *** and just give him a heads up of the chains he's about to set into motion and the repercussions thereafter. If he isn't convinced to act otherwise by what I'd imagine to be a flawless argument delivered by none other than (ahem!) yours truly :) (a.k.a. "future me" or as you'd probably prefer, "relatively futuristic, present you") regarding Newton's universal 3rd law, just bribe him with some fudge. That should do the trick. :)
