Yesterday and Today

There was a day when your air was my only taste..
A time in life where only two hearts raced..

There was a day when I only saw what was in front of me..
A portion of life where so many visions I didn't see..

Then came a day when blinders fell and the view became clear..
A bright light through the rain that dried an old not forgotten tear..

Now I stand today in a world that I designed from dreams and memories..
A place where pages I flip through are now my life in poetic stories..
