Yesterday you held onto me
like you couldn't let go
And you smiled into my eyes
You told me
these eyes are yours
And I said you weren't serious
and laughed until your eyes said
don't say that
And so I didn't.
Yesterday you looked straight through me
like you knew every thought in my head
And you told me I was beautiful
I said I didn't believe you
But the love in your eyes told me
don't say that
And so I didn't.
Yesterday you whispered my name
into my hair
And kissed my face so softly
like you were scared I'd break
You told me
It's you
And I called you silly
But your face said
don't say that
And so I didn't.
Yesterday you took a breath
And told me you couldn't bear
to be with me
and not have me around
You said
no, this isn't goodbye
don't say that
And so I didn't.
And I tried to tell you that
I missed you
But the words stopped
before they left my heart.
And you know me so well
you knew I would cry
So you said
stop that
But I couldn't.
And I told you I missed you
And you said
stop
But I couldn't.
Today I saw your face
and remembered yesterday.
And I looked at your clear blue eyes
and begged you to remember
But you couldn't.
And I begged you to tell me
that the love was still there
But you couldn't.
