If Not Today, Then Tomorrow

IF NOT TODAY, THEN TOMORROW

      Today behaving aloof! Yet closeness I expect tomorrow.
      Now I am ignored, yet I know you will sure respect tomorrow.
      
     Today me in despondence enduring pain of separation.
     Though you are far away from me, but you will accept tomorrow.   
     
     Today you are acting inert, yet my confidence is alert.
     You are sure to respond me! My belief: not to neglect tomorrow.
   
     Today you are walking opposite not following my journey
     But it will not continue, our paths to intersect tomorrow.
     
      Now you are not taking interest without noticing at all
     Your ardent ardor will adorn me pretty- perfect tomorrow.
     
     Today you are not aware to drink hidden dormant desire.
      Amour in glamour to flow: If not today, select tomorrow.
