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
