Ghost of Yesterday
Watching the clock tick
And minutes passing by
Heavy in my heart
I tell you goodbye.
I wish you could just stay
With your youth and merriness
And dreams to change the world
But perhaps I was too late
Hours passed us by.
And I left you behind.
Looking at myself today
I remember you from yesterday.
You were a little more hopeful
Optimistic than what I am right now.
And I remember you ten years ago
A time when everything was possible.
Every door was open. And there were secrets to explore.
There comes a time
Perhaps in everyone’s life
When you look into the past more so than the future
When you feel there’s nothing worth waiting for
Perhaps for me, it came a bit too early.
