“You can’t strategise falling in love, can You? It’s never worked …. because you can’t predict these things. You fall in love serially.” Meryl Streep
Tomorrow I fell in love for the first time tomorrow, a sense of transcending all my yesterdays, of which little remains and where everything is experienced as gone, done, and yet the tomorrows of today are but the todays of yesterday, and so I find myself ever falling in love as if it were for the very first time tomorrow which becomes today, and then yesterday, but always tomorrow.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday

I was trying to capture that giddiness of love that finds me living into tomorrow, as if today is holding me back, lol.

This is a surreal piece (style of writing wise) but it makes sense. I understood it as love being a timeless feeling, pulling you to the eternal now where tomorrows, yesterdays and todays meet.

Dear Paul,
I concur with Nitin. As usual, I enjoyed every one of your thoughtful poems. Thank you.
Falling in love aside, there is much more in your poem for further considerations. For example, even though today is perpetually flanked by yesterday and tomorrow, it is ephemeral. “Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow” can be a shorthand for “The Present, Past and Future”, where change is the only constant. To give us an opportunity to appreciate and discuss about change even more deeply and from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, I would like to refer you to my detailed analyses and extended discussions published in the concluding section of my very long and analytical post entitled “🔄📈📉 Change Rules and Moment Matters: How to Stay in the Moment 🔖🕰️🔂“.
In addition, I have touched on many issues in my multipronged discussions on process philosophy (also known as processism, philosophy of organism, or ontology of becoming) in relation to change, causality, (in)determinism, metaphysical reality, stoic philosophy as well as the philosophy of space and time, in the said concluding section, which is available for your perusal at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2022/08/19/change-rules-and-moment-matters-how-to-stay-in-the-moment/#Conclusion
Once again, I commend you for composing this thought-provoking poem. May you and Nitin have a lovely week ahead in which to fall in love every day.
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle

Yes, it is always moving, never past but always present, sometimes just out of reach.
