Yesterday

Miles away 

And years apart

But still your face haunts me

As if it were only yesterday

And yesterday was wonderful

Your smile

The touch of your hand

Making me tingle

Making my heart flutter

And my knees weak

But yesterday is no more

And I fear there is no going back

A life time of change

A life time of lies

I've lived them

Praying they'd take me away from you

But I've never left you behind

Not really

There is no way to shed you

I've tried

No way to brush you off my soul

You're in my blood

You blind my vision

And you name swells on my tongue

From miles away

Though years have passed

You're still the only one

They say time heals all wounds... I'm not so sure that's true...  The past has a funny away of returning to you when you least need it to.  The past makes you who you are and can haunt you at every turn... My past does this... Every night while I sleep for over a decade, my past has returned... mocking me... I have no answers for how to get away from this... only questions... for if I could escape my past... I may finally be able to find true happiness.
