Yesterday

10.13.08

I wish today was yesterday
When colors seemed much more than grey

I only wish to be less human than I seem
So why won't these feelings leave me be?

People smiled back then more than now
City lights were gleaming, below the rain clouds

We were one day younger, yet we've seemed to change
Skies weren't bluer, but they didn't seem so grey.

And we were laughing, so much more to love back then
In the harsh cold weather, but the gloom hadn't seeped in

And he was there with me, my lovely friend.
In that enchanting place and time.

With promised words, we shared and laughed
But still he seemed so far from me.

I wish today was yesterday
Today, the skies do seem so grey.

And pale leaves, they fall astray
Chrysanthemums aren't blooming today.

Inside's so empty, the absence I mourn
Yesterday, he was here, that once-lived day

And now he's gone, so far away
Oh, how I wish today was yesterday.
