Love Poem: Yesterday

Yesterday

Yesterday I wore my heart on my sleeve
Today it is sheltered and hidden away,

Yesterday I had your hand in mine
Today the sands of time are seeping through mine,

Yesterday your fingers fit perfectly in mine
Today my fingers are clasp in a fist,

Yesterday your smile could melt my icy resolve
Today my resolve is frozen in time

Yesterday I cared,
Yesterday I loved,
Today I am learning the lesson 
Of nothing ventured and nothing gained

Your embrace is all I long for today…
