Yesterday
I did leave a mark, like initials carved in a tree
the times we were together, will drift in memory
you may not admit that I was ever there
but at night when you're sleepless, apparitions appear
you can still taste the kisses, honey on your lips
you can still feel my presence, when fantasy grips
you can still remember eyes of deepest jade green
and the way I looked in boots and faded jeans
you may never admit that I did leave a mark
closed off in a chamber, locked in your heart
every now and then your mind will betray
and the mark I left from yesterday
