Goodbye, Tomorrow.
I've never loved you,
Because I couldn't,
Not because I didn't want to.
If I understood for even a moment what love meant,
Then maybe I'd be okay with waiting for one more you.
Waking up made me want you always,
Living now meant you were never here and if I had my own way you'd be my only way.
You made me anticipate the new and hate the old.
You made me live on the brink,
I was always your lining,
You were all my puzzle pieces.
Ill miss you more than anything,
When yesterday passed and you became Today,
I knew then I'd never have you.

Goodbye, Tomorrow,
You would always be my hopeful heart,
My fingertips running down the warm length of my dreams.
But don't miss me,
You don't need to.
You never saw me,
We were only really here in daydreams.

Tomorrow...
I've wanted you more than any girl,
More than gold,
I've wanted you more than zen and peace.
I've raced for the sunshine you promise and have always come around the globe to realize its the same sun.
You've tricked me,
Every moment I felt warmer,
Wishing for your embrace,
Was a moment I spent in ice,
Realizing you'd always be Today.
If I was wise,
I'd have known you were always here.

The thing is, Tomorrow,
I'm not over you,
I've just come to realize I love Today so much I can't bear to let you come between us.
You'll always be here,
What today is,
You have all the potential to be.
You grow from the past,
Into the present.
We think of you now and then you slip away as we come to learn,
You aren't for thinking of but for existing in.

Today is all the Tomorrow I will ever need.
Today is always trying to be you, Tomorrow,
So don't believe that I'm leaving you for Good.
Just believe that I'm leaving you for Now.
