Always with me, always with you…

I came across this poem I wrote in my teens 😂 I remember it was for my crush.

It’s about duality of life where two seemingly opposite forces are often complimentary or are different sides of the same coin.

The truth you’d never like to hear,

The lie I’d always like to say..

The smile you’d never like to cease,

The tears I’d always like to hold on..

The hope you’d never like to abandon,

The despair I’d always like to hang on to..

The success you’d never like to disregard,

The failure I’d always like to cherish..

The dream you’d never like to doubt,

The vision I’d always like to believe..

The friend you’d never like to lose,

The stranger I’d always like to find..

The day you’d never like to end,

The night I’d always like to last..

Truth or Lie, Smile or Tear,

Hope or Despair, Success or Failure,

Dream or Vision, Friend or Stranger,

It’s the common thread,

That binds both me and you,

C’est la vie,

Always with me, Always with you..

The tile of my poem was inspired by Joe Satriani’s song I was trying to learn at that point
