That Was Yesterday Of That Yesteryear

Remembering a grand love of my yesteryears

As the sun sets in the Western sky those moments to remember come floating by. Out of the East rises a crescent moon against a clear darkening sky. In the early part of the evening I often gaze up to the heavens above. But, this night with the sky so clear my thoughts return to you. It was that summer so many years ago that a love so great captured my heart. I have never forgotten those moments together where we walked hand in hand sliding our feet through the slicing sand. For me you were the one. But that was yesterday and now yesterday's gone.

 

 A lifetime of memories has filled the years. With fondness and longing I still see your infectious smile. For me you were the one. I had always thought I'd found my dream in you. From the moment we met I loved you all the summer through. When you took my heart little did I know that storm clouds of interference would soon arise. Opposing force of family influence tore through our reality when in a blink of an eye you were torn away from me.

 

As I look back the choices we made but it was that summer I remember best. We had such happiness together. I didn't want to believe that our love would be gone forever. I had always thought our love would last but that was yesterday. Now, the dreams we had are distant memories of a love so grand. They always have said that good things must end some day. Little did I know back then it would happen too soon. But, that was yesterday.

 

Of all the yesterday's of all the yesteryears it was that summer where you and I frolicked by the shore laughing are cares away. On those starry nights where we look to the stars listening to the rhythm of the waves rolling on the beach where whispering words and loves heavenly caress made those moments to remember. Against the backdrop of a moonlit beach soft kisses so sweet filled the night air. But that was yesterday of that yesteryear.

 

It was just you and I if only for a brief time. I still remember those starry nights where we huddled together lying on the sand. Our last night together we held together tight. Passions rose to a fever pitch. In loves heavenly embrace under the star lit sky. Soon the morning came and then you were gone. And that was yesterday of that yesteryear. Those fleeting moments of a love so great have stayed with me through all the years. It hurt me so to say goodbye. Tears of sorrow still flow from my eyes every time I look to the sky. I never did get over loosing the love of that yesterday of that yesteryear.
