Today was the day

just read it... thank you

 

Today was the day*

 

Today was the day

that should have determined the next eighteen years of my life.

Today was the day

that should have been my greatest experience ever.

Today was the day

I should never be able to replace.

 

And it was…

 

Today was the day

You would tell me you love me.

Today was the day

that would make all the other days worthwhile.

Today was the day

where I would finally understand how you feel.

 

And it wasn’t…

But it was…

 

Because you told me you loved me one time

and I made up my mind.

I don’t regret it

but I’ll never forget it.

I shouldn’t have too

just because you do.

 

Today was the day

I went to the nursery just to see.

Today was the day

I saw some students who had come to the nursery to see that

Today was the day

one of their friends had the day I should have had.

 

And that’s what it was…

 

So if I’m tense or changeable, bitchy or whatever else you call me

when you don’t understand, don’t care to,

stop and think about the date

before you judge me too harshly.

Stop and think about the things you didn’t think about before

and will probably never think of again.

 

Today was the day…

Or it should have been
