That Was Yesterday Poem by Randy McClave

I would have given you a wonderful life
Either as my girlfriend or as my wife,
And as long as you were there at my side
My soul would had been full of pride.
I would had given you the love that you never enjoyed before
And always I would had given you so much more,
I would had treated you the way that all women should be treated
Your soul not once would never have been defeated.
I would have taken you to where you've have never been
To different lands and to a different shore then,
And a happy you, you would always be
And of course that would be because of me.
You would never have worries or ever be in doubt
And you would never ever do without,
Because, the adventure would never be ending or through
Because of you.
I would had promised you that you and I would never fight
As I would had loved you with all of my might,
But, now these thoughts I remember and these words I say
Sadly, that was in my yesterday.
