Yesterday

Yesterday
by Samantha Nichole Prince

Forgive me, but I love you.
I regret to say it's true.
But I hadn't had a clue
Until a day called
Yesterday.

I thought you were only my friend
I did not in any way mean to offend
You, or possibly even send
You away
Yesterday.

I know you love her more than me.
Though the reason for that I cannot see.
You and I were meant to be.
And I began believing so
Yesterday.

I never meant for you to find out.
But now you know, without a doubt.
Please remember I only found out
This miserable burden
Yesterday.

If you wish to leave me now
I will not try to make you stay somehow
Or in any way try to put you down.
Because I knew I loved you deeply since
Yesterday.

Whatever your decision
Made with your precision
I'm sure there will always be an unpleasant partition
Between us after
Yesterday.

I sincerely wish I could reverse it
Now that our candle of friendship is not lit,
Now that we will no longer be closely knit.
I was happy until a rainy day called
Yesterday.
