Can I Return To Yesterday

Can I return to yesterday
When I had a love
So perfect, so right
Yesterday before today
Where the sun shone
Even as the rains came
Where rainbows painted
My world in magic colours
Can't I return to yesterday

Can I go back to yesterday
When I held a dream
So perfect, so right
Yesterday just a day ago
When the stars sparkled
Even in the blackest night
Where I floated on clouds
Feeling as light as air
Can't I go back to yesterday

Can I pretend it's yesterday
When everything was
So perfect, so right
Yesterday please make it so
Where I had my hearts desire
Even as others lost theirs
Where I was craddled in love
Feeling content and happy
Can't I pretend it's yesterday

Can I relive yesterday
When the day was
So perfect, so right
Yesterday when it wasn't today
Where you loved me
Even as I love you
In a world of hope
Can't it please be yesterday

Hi! you must have penned this lovely, (sad) poem "yesterday", for today, it is perfect.
Emotions and feelings exposed very well.

Marsha,

I liked the way this one felt.  It was a longing and sorrowful piece.  Been there myself, as have a great many others.  It never does seem quite fair, does it?
Very well written and a fine look into a hollow feeling.

Trev.

Marcy, thank you, I only know it's not today, and I don't want it to be.

Butterflies dc, thank you for reading, today is not a good day. But we have to hold onto something so I'll hold onto my friends here.
Take care

Trew, seems like everyone sees it coming except me. I guess I was just to happy to see the end, but why does it hurt so! Thanks for reading, I appreiciate your kind words.
