If you could buy yesterday, my dear,
What treasures would you seek?
For time has slipped through your grasp, I fear,
Leaving you longing, feeling weak.
Would you purchase moments of pure delight,
When laughter filled the air,
And all worries were out of sight,
As love danced without a care?
Would you buy back the youthful dreams once held,
That faded and lost their way,
To help your soul feel replenished, compelled,
To wander where passions lay?
If you could buy yesterday, would you rewind,
To moments of sheer bliss,
To regain what you left behind,
Moments you sadly miss?
Would you purchase the warmth of gentle embrace,
That whispered eternal vow,
And the tender smiles on loved ones' face,
Their presence, you cherish now?
Would you buy the soothing sounds of the past,
The songs that moved your soul,
When melodies lingered, and love would last,
Creating a world where hearts felt whole?
If you could buy yesterday, would you strive?,
To find solace in its embrace,
To relive memories that kept you alive,
And find comfort in their grace?
But alas, my dear, yesterday is gone,
Forever beyond your reach,
Though you yearn for its embrace, withdrawn,
It remains an elusive speech.
So, instead, will you treasure each tomorrow?,
With gratitude, you will find,
For today holds the moments you borrow,
To shape memories in your mind.
For if you could buy yesterday, my dear,
You might lose sight of now,
And the beauty that resides right here,
In moments of love that shall allow.
