Sweet Yesterday of My Mind

How I love to set myself adrift

thinking about a time we never spent

in which you had made a shift

when, at last, you decided to relent

you gave heed to the compelling wind

that forced you gently to turn your neck

back to me, choosing to rescind

thoughts of the one you had on deck

you left her behind in her own hulk

all alone, left to sulk

and then you sailed on to me that sweet yesterday

where my heart will always stay
