Yesterday

I often look into the stars And think about just where you are And can you see what I can see Is there a time you think of me When I’m alone I talk to you The unsaid praises you were due Alone I listen carefully A word a sign you sent to me But maybe it’s too far away The things I lost to yesterday The images that I hold dear Make me believe that you are near Again upon my knees with you Forgive the sorrows we’ve been through Or maybe it’s too far away Those things I pay for yesterday I ask you to look through my heart The moments we shared at the start And if you see that I’m untrue I do not know what more to do Still maybe you’re too far away And maybe there’s no yesterday But still just once in a while There’s hope I still make you smile Till then And when I’m with you again Remember that was yesterday And yesterday is far away

"But maybe it’s too far away The things I lost to yesterday" "Remember that was yesterday And yesterday is far away" I really feel these lines. They resonate with me so much. Very nicely done.
