Oh Go Away Yesterday

Yesterday, while we spoke, I shed a tear, for I was frightened of what I would hear: and the emotions felt were dread and fear. Oh, go away yesterday! You swore that destiny had chosen us, yet you now have doubts: you wish to discuss, and those feelings that we shared ended thus. Oh, go away yesterday! Yesterday broke the promise of never, a bond that time has chosen to sever, and so, tomorrow, we'll split forever. Oh, go away yesterday! An emptiness drains the hope from my heart as all of my dreams and wishes depart, and I cry, for love tore my heart apart. Oh, go away yesterday!

How does one say anything that could have a greater meaning than 'Congratulations'? If the English language had a word more fitting, I would use it.
