If only we had met yesterday <br />When love was new to both of us <br />And untarnished... <br />And dreams fashioned by hope and laughter <br />Were made without question <br />And rose colored glasses were not a joke. <br />If only we had met yesterday <br />When in our youth, 'promises were made <br />To be broken' was not the rule, <br />And the ache in our hearts was made <br />By cupid's arrow answering a call to love. <br />Yesterday, it was so simple to pull the <br />Petals from a daisy, <br />And he loves me was always the last petal <br />to be polled. <br />Today, the daisies won't tell. <br />Today, you belong to another! <br />Where were you yesterday when I needed you? <br /> <br /> <br />Dec.1975<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-were-you-yesterday-when-i-needed-you/
