Yesterday's Gone

Finally I had someone, and we were together.
Happy, so I thought, we were birds of a feather.
However, things changed quick, we were through,
The next week together, you said, " love you".

We were together another week or so,
Went to homecoming, but the future I did know.
The following day you said it's through again,
But we'd be sure to just be "just friends"

Yesterday's gone, no more holding hands,
No more kissing in the football stands.
All that's over, alone I am for now,
But I'll find someone new anyhow.

I grit my teeth, and held back the tears,
Though loneliness is one of my fears.
A few days I was sad, didn't want to go out,
I cried a lot, never smiled, constant pout.

After 3 days though, I can smile and say,
You weren't a good boyfriend anyway.
You barely called, and ignored me when with friends,
So my "friend" this is where our story ends.

Everything happens for a reason, as they say,
I guess the lesson I learned will find me someday.
You were just a boy, and it was just a fling,
Though not to me, I was just your plaything.

But yesterday's gone, no more moping about,
No need to cry, no need to always pout.
I've moved on, I'm too strong to cry,
I'll find better, and you'll wonder why-

You let someone as good as me get away...
