Little By Little Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

Little by little
darling little by little
we shared our laughter
in pubs dizzy and dark
while the night sky
wandered high above


we smelled cheap and wonderful
over a glass of cold whiskey
along many a lonely evening


Little by little
we flew into the horizon
of a million bubbles
of joy and sorrow


Little by little
the fields turned green and yellow
and our friendships found
new tomorrow


Little by little
we drove into the darkness
beneath the neon signs
drunk and in love

Little by little
our hands turned cold
our head felt light
and our footsteps unsure


and little by little
our love fell by the sideways

and little by little
we moved on
into other evenings
with other people

and little by little
we forgot each other
