Where Were You Yesterday When I Needed You

If only we had met yesterday
when love was new to both of us and untarned,
and dreams fashioned by hope and laughter
were made without question and rose color glasses 
were not a joke!

If only we had met yesterday
when in our youth, "Promises were made to be broken"
was not the rule, and the ache in our hearts, was made
by cupid's arrow, answering a call to love.
Yesterday, it was so simple to pull the petals from a daisy
and he loves me was always the last petal to be polled.

Today, the daisy's won't tell, today, the daisy's won't tell,
Today, you belong to another...
Where were you yesterday, when I needed you?
