When I see you
feeling blue.
Many a yesterday
without you.
It will be okay.

It will be okay
without you!
Many a yesterday,

The Prompt - Write a poem that takes on a different meaning when you read the lines from bottom to top.
Your task is to create a reverse poem—an enchanting composition that unfolds with one meaning when reading the lines from top to bottom, and an entirely different meaning when reading the lines in reverse from bottom to top. Carefully choose words to construct lines that reveal hidden depths and unexpected twists in both directions. Your poem does not need to start and end with repeated lines.
