It Is Not Yesterday – Written Thursday 18th September 1997 (Aged 22)

It Is Not Yesterday

i have got to find a hideaway
i should have written you a letter
but now is not yesterday
they say that it is going to get better
it is alright,
but still i leave you confused
and i remain out of focus
do not get used
do not get abused
teased only pleased
never misused
truer words spoken in jest
that is what they say
i should have said goodbye
but i sat there, pen in hand
i could only think of the past and sigh
hope you understand
hope i was not too bland
you were colourful
i have got to find a hideaway
as well as a spoonful –
of some luck today




James Garratt – Thursday 18th September 1997
