What if there was no yesterday?
LOVE
Would it exist
How would we feel
If we never had memories
Or glimmers of reflections
To help us smile
Would we ever smile
And if we did
How would we know what we
Were smiling about
Or would every moment
We felt rain dancing on us
Feel like a new experience
Would we appreciate
Life more or less
Or just constantly be numb
REGRET
Would we ever realize
Our mistakes
How would we learn without
The magnitude of life’s experiences
That shape our future decisions
How would we become
Better versions of ourselves
Or would our innocence and naivety
Pave new roads
We could never dream of
Without the hindrance of regret
Holding us back
Does the knowledge of the past
Change our present landscape
And future horizons
HEARTACHE
How would we think
Or feel if we never experienced
Loss or grief
Would emotions exist
Or would we be hardened
Like a rock
Slowly eroding over time
With no ability to feel
While staring blankly
Into a river of other cold stones
Lifeless and empty
Without our loved ones
Compassion and empathy
To help us exist
And find strength to heal
What if there was no yesterday?
