THE NEXT DAY

THE NEXT DAY



(T. Beechey)



I seem to recall what never occurred

That I gave my all and pledged my word

To a faceless name

Who ventured astray

And the pain never came until the next day



I once had a dream while I was awake

That I stitched each seam which was set to break

For all of those

Who left me to pay

And the hurt never rose until the next day



When the next day arrived

I wanted to hide

Then I felt revived

So I ran outside

So I'd feel the heat

Of each sunlight ray

And I yearned to greet

The following day



Right here and now in a memory

We exchanged a vow for eternity

But no promise was kept

There was nothing to say

And I never wept until the next day



Right next door,a world apart

I tried once more to reveal my heart

She made it clear

That I couldn't stay

And I shed not a tear until the next day



When the next day arrived

I held on tight

And somehow I thrived

Everything was all right

And I realized

It would all be okay

So I claimed as a prize

The following day



In a faraway land just around the bend

I extended my hand out toward a friend

But he turned aside

Then he walked away

And I never cried until the next day



Many days passed just a second ago

...no,it wasn't that fast,it was just that slow

The best friend I had

Could no longer play

And I didn't feel sad until the next day



When the next day arrived

I wasn't prepared

And yet I survived

And somehow I dared

To see it through

From the blue to the gray

And even into

The following day
