Seems like yesterday

It only seems like yesterday that I was but a mere child

It only seems like yesterday that I was a teenager

It only seems like yesterday that I was a young adult

It only seems like yesterday that I said goodbye to my school friends and teachers

It only seems like yesterday I started a brand new year

It only seems like yesterday I had gotten a brand new job

It only seems like yesterday I had gone on air for the first time

It only seems like yesterday I fell in love for the very first time



It only seems like yesterday my heart got broken

It only seems like yesterday I cried bitter tears

It only seems like yesterday I celebrated another birthday

It only seems like yesterday I rediscovered joy

But it hasn’t been…



It’s been seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months and years ago.

The sky has never looked so blue

The horizon never looked so clear

As I now start yet another brand new year

Time flies by so fast, leaving me in it’s cloud of dust.

Wow this a great poem, i especially like the last stanze, the whole poem is a truth which still puzzles many people as it doesn't seem like that long ago...^_^
