Dear yesterday
The things that matter
Were her and I
Girl and guy
Together in a world
With dreams
No skies
It was the same
As the day before
But here I am today
Being told I love her less
Because I didn’t give her more
But the day before
I showed her that
Every day I see her grow
And without realising I love her more
Dear yesterday
The things that matter
I couldn’t find in a store
Her smile
Her eyes
The truth that lies
Beneath her clothes
Beneath her skin
The feeling that causes shivers
From tip to toes
And she tilts her head
As I kiss her nose
Is what I did
The day before
Buy every year
You tell me I love her less
Because I didn’t give her more
Dear yesterday
You’ve become part of the playbook
A sheet in the binder
Well drawn up details
On how to apply blinders
You’re meant to celebrate love
But you’ve become
A guilty reminder
Pleasure without depth
And those who remember
Spent the whole year trying to forget
Romance
Is not predictable
Or meant to erase
Months of neglect
Let me catch my breath
Dear yesterday
I celebrate you year round
As many times as possible
The chocolate
Lingerie
Without a reason
And that happened the day before
I took her to dinner
Movie
Her favourite store
She knows without a doubt
That she’s the core
Of this thing of ours
But you told me I love her less
Because I didn’t give her more
