Yesterday

Yesterday 
Picture by Alan L Boles

Yesterday...yesterday,
Where have you gone,
Blown away, 
Like the wind,

My heart yearns,
Deep inside my soul,
Come back to me 
My darling yesterday,

I miss the way...you always,
Embraced me,
Keeping me warm,
On dark nights,

We danced 
We laughed
You held me close
We made love,

You consumed me,
With your power,
Sparking with flames
That ran through my veins,

You desired me,
Showed me off,
Took me out on dates,
Candle lit nights,

Ate sweet chocolate together,
Told me...
I looked good,
Made me feel...care free, 

You inspired me,
Romanced me,
Kisses me,
Excited me,

Yesterday...yesterday
How I miss 
Them...our times,
Running wild,

Come back to me,
I pray...come back,
My tears each night,
To the mirror on the wall,

Who is this person...
Help me to see,
Is this reflection
Really me,

Yesterday, yesterday,
Where have you gone,
My heart cries to you,
Come back 
Where have you gone,

Let youth sing her song,
Keeping warm 
The lonely 
Night's long.
