Yesterday

Yesterday we were alive, young, and free Laughing and dancing like the wind and sea Yesterday we were young, foolish and ignorant Not caring slightly for what was important Somehow we thought our friendship was the blast So we never realized that we were known as outcasts We were so involved in our own little world That we did not realize our friendship was like fools gold It was golden, wonderful, and surreal It was anything but the real deal We laughed, gossip and talked Hand in hand through the hallway we would walk All of our little secrets we would share All of our insecurities and all our fears Today I am sad, alone and betrayed To learn that our friendship was nothing but a facade Today I am older, wiser and stronger But I wish our friendship would last just a little bit longer I often like to sit down and analyse what we have become And it hurts my heart to see that we are no longer are one Sadly I must accept all of our times together are done But no worry tomorrow is another day Maybe someone else will decide to come my way But until then I will relish our memories of yesterday

It reminds me of the song with the same title popularized by BEATLES
