Yesterday

She's so damn blunt
You could smoke her truth
she makes me long
For my unapologetic youth

Back in the days 

before what I said 
mattered so much 
when I didn't care 
if I said I love you 
too much

Before I cared 
what people thought
When my opinions 
were my own 
and couldn't be bought

Before I started slowing 
down around each corner
When I was still a rebel 
and not a joiner

Before I started giving 
multiple s
I relied solely 
on my instinct and luck

Now I sit back 
and watch her bravado 
lighting her way
as she reminds me 
of someone I knew
yesterday
