I saw you in the street yesterday,
in all your handsome glory.
I saw the way you looked at her yesterday,
a sparkle evident in your eyes when she spoke.
I remembered what it felt like to be in your arms yesterday,
the smell of you enveloping me, your stronghold protecting me.
I remembered what it felt like to be safe yesterday,
and wished I could feel that way once again.
My world has come crashing down around me,
and it started when I saw you,
yesterday.
