بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalamu Alaikum,

This was written in math class after I heard someone I knew is… gone. I would like to note that in reality, Allah is the one who always look after you and I am just a temporary being, but I think the phrase: “I’ll look after you” is supposed to mean that I’ll always care for you and that I will always be available for anyone so long as I am not asleep, in class, praying or doing whatever my mom tells me. It is a poem meant to reassure people that we often are our worst obstacle and we keep boxing ourselves in and that everything will be okay. (That was a shameless summary)

—
I’ll Look After You
—

The days keep turning,
The sun keeps burning,
We keep falling into fallibility,
I guess this is what they call reality.
—
Don’t say you are ‘lonely’.
Don’t say you are the ‘only’.
If only you knew,
That I will look after you.
—
We keep falling in and out.
If there ever was a doubt,
Our hearts are so quick to break.
At these moments, our souls are awake.
—
Don’t say those hurtful things,
Don’t say that there are only unhappy endings,
If only you knew,
That I’ll look after you.
—
Forgive yourself and bear the wait.
There is no reason to let your spirit separate.

The tallest tree was a seed grown.

The most beautiful people in the world may never be known.

—

Don’t think when it is night, the sun is no more.

Don’t keep knocking at an open door.

If only you knew,

That I’ll look after you.
