Yesterday Poem by Cachline Etienne

Yesterday we were alive, young, and free
Laughing and dancing like the wind and sea
Yesterday we were young, foolish and ignorant
Not caring slightly for what was important

Somehow we thought our friendship was the blast
So we never realized that we were known as outcasts
We were so involved in our own little world
That we did not realize our friendship was like fools gold
It was golden, wonderful, and surreal
It was anything but the real deal

We laughed, gossip and talked
Hand in hand in the hallway we would walk
All of our little secrets we would share
All of our insecurities and all our fears

Today i am sad, alone and betrayed
To learn that our friendship was nothing but a facade
Today I am older, wiser and stronger
But I wish our friendship would last just a little bit longer

I often like to sit down and analyze what we have become
And it hurts my heart to see that we are no longer are one
Sadly I must accept all of our times together are done

But no worry tomorrow is another day
Maybe someone else will decide to come my way
But until then I will relish our memories of yesterday
