24-Hour Today

I see you...
While hiding in the distance
Careful not to let you see me
Covering my existence.

I showed you my heart
As vulnerable as it was
I couldn't always tell you why
So I left it as, "Just because..."

You were my
Tomorrow's Today
That's why I always looked to you
You were my Brighter Day.

Your smell, your fragrance
Your yes's and no's
The way you walked, talked
My everything as it goes.

I write what I say
In hopes you'll understand it later
I'm through arguing with you
This isn't: The Great Debaters.

I want[ed] to be with you
But that was yesterday
So now I'm alone
Trapped in a 24-hour Today.
