--- Take Me Back To Yesterday --- Take me back to yesterday When time ran not so fast. Remind me, though, when we arrive, That good times never last. Take me to the day I learned You burned for me as much. Tell me time is precious, Not to panic at your touch. Make me tell you how I feel. That you make my blood run hot. Tell me I can't hit my target, If I never take my shot. I'd always have tomorrow, To figure what to say. Tomorrows were just endless Or so I thought, those days. Then one summer day I heard, Heard it from a friend. You were getting married, My last tomorrow's end. Remind me that the day will come I'll glance back on that time. That one day in my future, Only memories will be mine. Take me back to yesterday. The one before the news. Give me back that final day Just to tell you "I love you." Take me back to yesterday. Return me now, I plead, To the day I failed to hold The love I'll always need. No one ever listened themselves into trouble.

*sigh* oh my gosh....how sad. My heart goes out to you. I hope the future will bring you a love that will have you dreaming of the future together instead of a past filled with loss. **Hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Very nicely done. (Can I call you Gerald?) Melencholy and sad, reflective of opportunity missed, but so well written!  |

Enchantress, Startime, SmartChick & Midnitesun ... Thanks for taking the time to read. I'm glad you all didn't giggle at it. Not to worry about me though, we all know that old wounds scar over and that scar tissue is stronger than original skin  I'm just ducky now. Oh and Midnitesun ..... Sure, you can call me Gerald, but it seems so formal. Jerry is just fine too. No one ever listened themselves into trouble.

LonelyStranger~ A beautifully done piece of 'inspire' ... This happens to be one of my favorite phrases when I'm feeling all nostalically melancholy ... but then ... sometimes it drops me on a street corner of remember that gives me a smile~ Thank you so much for participating~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
