People and places

A Poem by Najam Us Saher
"

One can go back to those places they have been but cannot meet those people they have once seen.

"
PEOPLE AND PLACES
There are places I've been to,
There are scenes I have seen,
Time is never still and enough,
To go back to places I've been.
Sometimes I wonder,
Where are those kids I saw on the way,
I can never see them as they are miles away.
What about those faces I saw smiling?
Are they still happy in the lives they are living?
What about those I saw suffering?
Did their life change?
Did they find out their purpose of living?
What about the people I saw sitting alone,
Did they find someone?
Or still feel forlorn?
I cannot know, 
A bitter truth it remains,
To never see them and not to meet them again.
One can go back to those places they have been,
But cannot meet those people they have once seen.
When you travel and meet people, don't you wish to see them again? 
When you are on your way, don't you think about the people you have seen?
Do you long to go again to the places you've been?

Well wrote, loved your rhymes in this one.
Sometimes we do miss the people we met and the places we've been too, sometimes its hard if you can't but sometimes memories of them are beautiful so we keep them locked inside of us to never forget them.

I absolutely liked this piece of writing.
We won't be able to go meet the people we have once known coz they are not the same anymore. Like the way we have changed too.

Nice read. Keep writing :)

Yes.....Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate it. ☺
For some the returning to an old place with old memories it can be wonderful, for others they would be returning to heartache. Valentine
