Yesterday is Gone

I won’t apologize
For yesterday and all the days before
Those were days I got to love you
Beautiful even when I screwed up
Wonderful even when you’d pull away
Simple were those days
Because I was simply a part of our love

I won’t admit
To wanting those days back
Because it would not be entirely true
There’s a reason why I despise the way I was
And the last thing I want to do is return
The past isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
When I see where we ended

I will tell you however
That I don’t want to change our yesterday
As beautiful or as hurtful as it was
For it’s made me into who I am now
More lovely than the girl you met that first day
Possibly someone who could love you better
If I allow myself to believe

I will reveal
The simple truth to you
The past can’t be changed and I don’t live there anymore
I don’t want to go back; I want to go forward
I want to relearn how to love you and treat you right
And I want to let you in deeper to see who I’ve become

The past is gone and that’s fine with me
Because the future is where I want to be.
