Imaan S. Malhotra(C Form)

Why worry about the past?
Why worry about the future?
When the present is so beautiful,
Brimming with life.

Tomorrow will be so much fun!
That’s what you say
A day before your birthday.

Yesterday was so much fun!
Your heart yearns to go back in time
To turn the hands of the clock.

Try to live life once
Without the fear of the biggest fear,
Time.
Forget the hurt,
Forget the pain,
And live life all over again.
