Reality Check

Yesterday, you said that you loved me, You said all the right things that made me happy Yesterday, I dreamed of days filled with picnics and long walks, Days of passionate kisses and long, interesting talks Yesterday, you promised that you would always be here, You said that together we could conquer all of my fears Then, Reality Hit Me and I Was Forced to Face Today Today, I feel lonely and confused, My heart, body, and mind, have all been used Today, my eyes are open wide, They see the person that you tried so hard to hide You hid behind those bright smiles and those sexy eyes Who knew that promises of love and devotion were only well thought out lies Today, I wish that yesterday was merely a dream If only my pride, my secrets, my innocence could somehow be redeemed Today, I have a choice to make Hold on to hurt feelings as my heart continues to break Or Dust myself off, move on, and learn from my mistake Now that I think about it, The decision was quite easy to make I almost forgot… There’s always tomorrow
