Yesterday

~Yesterday~ 

                             Yesterday`s dream his thoughts were here
                                       Today his thoughts are there.
                               Yesterday`s dream my legs could hold me
                                         Today my legs sold me.
                                    Yesterday`s dream I was in pain
                                           Today I`m living again. 
                                   Yesterday`s dream I thought I knew
                                           Today my thoughts flew.
                                  Yesterday`s dream his love was about me
                                          Today his love is about them.
                                       Yesterday`s dream I had hope
                                          Today was what I thought.
                                     Yesterday`s dream I was wrong
                                              Today I am strong.
                                     Yesterday`s dream I opened the door
                                             Today I closed that door.
                                     Yesterday I did not dream I was tired
                                               Today I am very tired.
                                   Yesterday I did not dream I did not dare 
                                               Today I don't care.
