I almost miss myself
I miss us all
How we were…

How we played it back then
Has made us what we’ve become
And I couldn’t be happier
But I can’t help missing the past

I know I’ve always got the future
But moving on ain’t ever easy
When I’ve got to leave behind
People like you

Sometimes I don’t want tomorrow
I need the time to reflect
But I know this doesn’t have the desired effect
It just provokes tears

But these are tears I want to see
You know I cant bear to leave it all behind
I want a future
But only if it’s as amazing as my past

And the only way I’m gonna get through
Is if I’ve got you to cling to
I don’t want anyone else
It wouldn’t be the same

My smile wouldn’t be right
My eyes would blind to the colour
And my heart would break.

small insignificant useless me

'I want a future
But only if it’s as amazing as my past'

I doubt I could live through it a second time... !  Nice poem, made me think.

Here's to you!

Celebrate each day,
don't give it away
leave yesterday behind
and tomorrow as a dream.
Carpe Diem, Rosie.
Live for today,
before it
becomes the past.

Hope you will enjoy the moment of NOW.
