Broken Yesterday

I once thought to myself
what if?
So I took the plunge, and fell
I once loved her more than I could explain to myself
I couldn't think why
Now our paths cross time over time, infrequent
some intersections, we remember the good times
and let an old passion take over

I once thought I would wait forever for her
that no one would compare

then one day, I woke up, yesterday broke
I met another, bearing one similarity
a name, no more no less

a world of difference opened in my heart,
a red flood
now I realize I was waiting for the name to Love me

sitting here, the taste of a familiar fruit on my lips
closes my eyes.  
I sigh and smile
the Love I bear today
comes from a broken yesterday
