Past, Present and Phuture

Sometimes we get so caught up

in the past- in our past

we forget to appreciate whatever that is before us

even if it is right smack in our faces.

Take a hard look at yourself

Evaluate those that surround you

Friends and family

who you love and loves you back.

I looked up to you in my past

and you were my world

but time passes and with time, hurt and disappointments

you have changed and so have I.

You've always had a knack

for saying hurtful stuff

sometimes, you may say it to protect yourself

but for all that you've done, I thank you.

You make me want to slap you in the past

but we learn to understand each other better

I wish you would step up and do what you have to do

Irregardless, I still love you.

I don't hate you and I never will.

But a turtle you still seem to be

You are so much more than you let yourself be

and you need to fight for something that is definitely worth it.

The good you is stuck in my past
The shit you is definitely not in my present

I thought we were more than friends

but at the way things are- I am more and you are less.

You were my playmate in my past

I liked you and I envied you

your intelligence, your business mindedness

I am glad that we met and you're still my friend.

I used to regret you in my past
hoping that I could turn back time

but now you're my present
and I think, my future.
