Don't Come back

Ahmed Faraz poem




Don't come back if

You think it is to fulfill a promise.

People with obligations are

either compelled or

simply exhausted.

Go and fulfill others' desires

And fall in love with other women.

I will not call you.

But when you burn inside

with the blaze of wanting me,

needing me,

and your heart weeps,

you can then

come back to me.


-Ahmed Faraz
