Until Yesterday ...
... tomorrow did not exist
Until yesterday, I didn’t think tomorrow would come.
I’d been warned. I’d been told.
Even by you
You had said that tomorrow comes for everyone.
And one day would be mine. I’d been told.
Even by you
Well …
Until yesterday, I hadn’t believed tomorrow would come.
It wasn’t going to happen to me.
Not the way people warned
Not the way I’d been told.
Not even the way you had said.
There was no way that tomorrow would come for me!
I knew it in here
And I felt it here
Until yesterday, that is …
I’d been warned. I’d been told.
Even by you
Until yesterday, tomorrow wasn’t a worry
It wasn’t even a wish
Because tomorrow didn’t exist
Not like I’d been told
Not even like you had said
Especially …
Not for me, the perpetual today
Because even yesterday had been hazy until yesterday

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
