Yesterday, you were here with me,
We wandered through the world carefree,
A perfect day, a fleeting dream,
Before I blinked, you slipped unseen.
I closed my eyes, and when they stirred,
You vanished like a whispered word.
Though it was only yesterday,
It feels like years have slipped away.
This empty space where you once lay,
Is vast and cold with you away.
I wake to face the quiet dawn,
Alone, the light of you is gone.
Through storms that howl and winds that cry,
Beneath the blaze of sunlit sky,
Though shadows stretch and press me tight,
I’ll bear the weight, endure the night.
For even in this loneliness,
With no one near to soothe or bless,
I’d cross the unknown, tread the void,
To reach the place where love's employed.
For when I saw you last, my dear,
That moment, sharp and crystal clear.
No future life, no time or place,
Could rob me of your warmth, your grace.
In this world or the next to come,
I’ll journey far, I won’t succumb.
For every step will lead to you,
To yesterday when love was true.
No distance in this life or more,
Could ever close the waiting door.
Though parted now, I’ll find the way,
To where we were, that perfect day.
