Past Perfect

You left me with all these memories

The way you stir your coffee

That eyebrow you would raise

Your quiet confidence

Your understated

Elegant style

Your knowing ways

You had me at hello

And now at goodbye

Always and still you amaze

 

I'm a better man for loving you

A sadder man for losing you

I'm not going through a phase

Just reminiscing, maybe convincing myself

That I'm gonna be OK

 

Dreams come in two varieties

Those of tomorrow or the other

For me, for us, there is only the past

Why I dream only of yesterday

I have no choice

It just turned out that way

 

I can almost touch you at times

But when I try, you turn away
