WASN’T IT JUST YESTERDAY?
by Peggy Amler
in memory of David H Amler
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we had our first date?
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we had our second date and
knew that we were meant to be together forever?
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we married, and never stopped
holding hands as we held each other’s heart?
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we looked into each other’s eyes
and spoke without words?
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were together for five years,
then ten years, then fifteen and twenty?
And now…today…I can only remember.
For you are gone.
My heart aches, but my heart is not broken.
My heart is full with your love.
And I long for the day
when we are together again,
when I can say,
“Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were apart?”
