Today, Tomorrow & Everyday

I could start a fire,

With my temper flares;

You bore them silently,

Without giving me glares.

You just kissed my forehead,

And held my hand;

Oh why dint I get it then,

Why dint I understand?

Today, I'm a figure of calmth,

Only with some necessary warmth;

I hold on to my cool,

So that I don't end up a fool.

I know everyone has a point,

I've learnt to respect it;

Finally in the patient world,

I've begun to fit.

I never wanted to think,

What the other person feels;

I wanted things my way,

Not bothering if it hurts or heals.

You tried your best,

To explain things to me;

I failed to listen,

And I failed to see.

But today I understand,

Everyone feels the hurt and pain;

I don't want to be inflicting it,

I want to shower love like rain.

I see both the sides,

I accept the right when I'm wrong;

When people love the way I am today,

I cant help but feel more strong.

I could never laugh at myself,

I could never take a joke;

Yet you loved me the way I was,

And stood strong like an oak.

You did all you could,

To help me learn;

Why dint I see what you saw?

Why did I let it burn?

A good person is the one,

Who can laugh at themselves;

I've finally learnt it now,

And I feel happy like an elf.

Its always been so simple,

Yet I never believed it;

I get it all now,

Slowly, bit by bit.

You asked me to stay clear of others,

But I did not pay heed to you;

Trust me, for me they were just friends,

If they dint feel the same, what do I do?

I should have listened to your word,

Cos now I've lost my love, and my friends;

I only regret losing out on you,

And now its too late to make amends.

Today I stay on guard,

And think twice before I speak;

I clear out things on day one,

So that later it doesn't make me weak.

Today I know what you meant,

By everything that you said;

It was one hell of an eye opener,

Anyday better than anything I've read.

Maybe I had to lose you,

To be what I am today;

I was spoilt and lost then,

But today I've found my way.

This is what I always wanted to be,

Finally I've learnt to accept and see;

I'm always gonna stay this way,

For today, tomorrow and everyday.
