My Yesterday...My Tomorrow

Everything seems so distant
everyone tries to pretend
I don't realise the truth
don't see the road bend

I keep on walking with my eyes closed
trusting him with my hand in his hold
But, I find myself, on opening my eyes
on an island where a lonely seagull cries

Suddenly I am too terrified to speak
I hear a noise down somewhere in the creek
Its nothing but the dying footsteps
I call out to him, my voice breaking into shreds

He doesn't stop and doesn't look back
leaving me stunned at his feelings' lack
I ask myself how could I be deceived
but no answer comes, leaving me bereaved

I know I have no one but myself to blame
and all my excuses for my actions sound lame
But can he shrug off his share of my hurt
couldn't he have been soothing instead of being curt

When I find him so cold and distant
I realise, to me, how much it meant
His looking at me with eyes full of praise
and then taking me in his arms, his breath warm on my face

The memories of the shared moments are still fresh
and make me wonder why couldn't the time stretch
Then deep inside me, I seem to know
that my yesterday will never be my tomorrow.
