Yesterday

[embraceableme]

Yesterday we were close.
You held me in your hands
and that was all I wanted,
all I needed.
I just wanted to be yours
and when things got scary
I ran into your arms.
You dried my tears,
wiped my eyes,
and told me everything would turn out fine.

But today things seem different.
I'm trying to figure things out on my own
and it's been a long time since I felt your arms.
I feel scared and alone;
I feel like you are far away.

If only I'll turn around
I'll see
You're still behind me
like you've been all along.
But first
I need to turn around.
