Wish for tomorrow

In adolescence I chased after the tomorrow's
Anticipation , of what was on the other side if the evening sky
Or maybe even the decade ,
The future ,
Full of wishes , in the eyes of a child
Never takes a Notice to the face in the mirror
Not realizing we are wishing our existence away ......
Until one day you find yourself in one of those many tomorrow's
Wishing you could go back to yesterday .
The face in the mirror aged and ashen ,
Now longing for yesterday
Lost loves , and care free times
Anticipation of that first kiss
Sadness from that first heartbreak
The night before you met your one true love
Afraid of the future
Missing the past
Wishes now .....
To live in a memory
Time machine set to the past ,
Avoiding the future
Another tomorrow
Greater the distance from all the when's
A greater distance from my " life "
I'm afraid of tomorrow
I miss the past
I don't like the mirror
It reminds me if what Is left to come
As I reminisce of what's left behind
I fear the future , relish the past
Especially........
those moments I used to spend with you .....
