Yesterday
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day,
But I couldn’t send a card,
And I couldn’t give a gift.
I remembered the ones we’d shared,
Presents I’d sent,
Words I’d written,
But, mostly, the love I felt.
Being with you at that time
Meant more than words could say;
You were everything to me.
Yesterday, I reminisced
About the love I lost -
Which isn’t unusual;
I still dream of you each day,
Wonder where you are,
If life is being kind to you,
And if someone is in my place.
Yesterday, I missed you
Much more than on other days.
I don’t suppose you thought of me at all.
