Yesterday, Again. You'll Never Have Today.

All the lies you've told will catch

you up, one day, she said.

And through all the warping

changes of the days and years

that thought remains.

Yesterday, again.

You'll look at me a little oddly

try to smile and break your

teeth. Remember how this

goes, again?

The subtle sweetness of

the milky tea she'll serve.

Just a little late.

We hold on, again.

Already you've forgotten

but that thought remains.

You'll never get yesterday again.

'Yesterday, again. You'll..' The way you play with tenses is so clever, it makes everything heart braking, 'cause it shows how nothing ever was, is or will be perfect. Except this, this is perfect and beautiful. x
