Missing Yesterday (Free verse) by x311
Looking back on yesterday
It seems so close, but it's gone away
I can see us again
Next to each other, side by side
We smile and laugh together
Life was like a dream
Every moment a gift from the heavens
Surely this would last forever
Opening my eyes -- I see it's all gone
The remnants of what used to be, lingering in me
How I would give up all of my tomorrows
For only one more yesterday
I don't want to wake up to a new morning
I only want one more yesterday
Memories start to fade
Holding on, why couldn't you have stayed
But they're not gone yet
Just like that dried up rose
I hold on to them, so so tightly
Anything to remind me
Keep it guarded inside of my heart
I hold it all in, so so tightly
I close my eyes -- I hope it's not gone
Everything that used to be, means there's hope for me
How I would give up all of my tomorrows
For only one more yesterday
I don't want to wake up to a new morning
I only want one more yesterday
I still believe
I still have hope
I still wonder
I still believe
I still hold on
I still remember
Love is my weakness
Tried too hard, and killed you with kindness
But you're not gone yet
As I'm still filled with need
Seems like something has died
Time pushes onward
Trying to make it all fade away
The damage from all the times I've cried
I don't trust my eyes -- I feel it's gone
Whatever used to be, still fuels the hope in me
I will give to you all of my tomorrows
For another yesterday
I won't wake up tomorrow morning
If it isn't like yesterday
