I guess I lost tomorrow
while searching through my mind,
trying to read the memories
of a yesterday filled with you.
I closed those pages long ago
too many thoughts that haunted so,
but lately they've been nudging
to come to terms with way back then.
And as the ghosts come forward
I remember summer days,
when willingly I let you stroll
across my open heart.
The ghosts remind me vividly
of your promises of tomorrow,
when suddenly I reach a wall
that you have sailed on through.
You left me curled in yesterday
upon this wilted shelf,
for tomorrow was lost so long ago
as these opened pages flutter silently.
