Yesterday

Promise me tomorrow
just for today
for tomorrow needs its own promise
its own tomorrow

I'd like to trust you
to choose trust
in the face of tomorrows
without beginning or end

Someday we'll find our way
back to these words
these wards against the passage of time
against our own passage

I'd like to trust me
to choose you
in spite of what will come
in the infinity of each moment we share

One day at a time
doesn't work when I'm not with you
when there are tomorrows
promises I can't keep
