Yesterday.

Wasn't it just yesterday
we stole a bottle of gin into my room,
drunk, we lay still on the terrace to watch the full moon?

Wasn't it just yesterday
 we pooled in coins to catch the first show,
entered a salon together, for the first time, to pluck our eye brow?

Wasn't it just yesterday
we went on our first double date,
and told a bunch of lies, when we got home awfully late?

Wasn't it just yesterday
he proposed to you,
then in a few years, yes, he did to me too?! (:D :D)

Wasn't it just yesterday
we planned our grand futures,
while painting a perfect picture, of a greener pastures?

It was yesterday, indeed it was,
when we knew not what it meant to be mothers
nor what it was, to change soiled diapers!

I never thought I'd think of us
in a tense, that's past perfect,
groping around for a bit of yesterday
is my current pet-project.

But in tomorrow, I have hope
to bring us again together.
Though, all my heart wishes for now
is a glimpse of you today, and not wait for a moment later.
