Echoes of Yesterday

It feels like everything was yesterday If we sit for a day, And think of yesterday, It cannot be covered in a day

All the fun I’ve had, Because of my friends All the scoldings I’ve had, Because of my teachers

Those memories still cherished, Deep in my heart as always. Some echoes haunt others’ play, Hope that they always stay

A bunch of thoughts, encircling my mind Containing loud echoes of ideas, that I couldn’t find From the echo of a bouncing basketball, To the echo of a distant valley’s waterfall

The echoes of yesterday Remind me of the tournament day. Where the grief of our defeat, Echoed through a hundred feet.

These echoes of yesterday are too heard to be forgotten, But the hope is not to be disheartened Because this can be The echoes of tomorrow

As this can be the echo of tomorrow, Not one of complete sorrow, With this echo I shine bright With my mind now ready to fight

The echoes of yesterday softly call, Glimpses of moments rise and fall. Weaving the threads of stories old, When love was sung with hearts of gold.

The warmth that feels so far, Like one of those distant stars. Though times change and hearts mend, Some bonds just never end.

In the echoes of our yesterday, We find light in endless ways. Now echoes fill the empty space, Where once it was a happy place.

So let the years go, let them pass, We’ll hold these moments like glass. The love we’ve shared in many ways, A love that time can never erase.

The wind still hums your half-sung tune, Through trembling blinds and ghostlit noon. Where silence hums like something torn, And dreams grow old but never mourn

The mirror hums with faded light Its glass still holds the edge of night The face returns, then slips away - A ghost that never learnt to stay

The clocks all choke on ticking grief, Their hands like prayers without belief. And every dusk, the shadows wane, But whisper back your name again.

Now every night, I drift astray, Through ruins where your echoes lay - And though the dawn still finds my eyes, I live where your tomorrow dies

The echoes of yesterday remind me Of my mistakes that weren’t meant to be They tell me I have failed, putting me in mystery.

Yet I cling to a brighter hope, Were I can grow more and more Yesterday’s failures tied to me as rope, Tomorrow brings me a better hope

To live in the past is the greatest sin, As one gets stuck in what could’ve been. Forgetting about what you can be Limitting yourself to what you can see.

As the days keep flying by, I don’t stick to yesterday or cry. Every second has a price to pay, To live to the fullest every day.

When he closed his eyes, darkness spread, In sorrow, his eyes wept and bled. Regrets return, memories haunt, Emotions flow but never forget to taunt

Mind ripped, heart torn apart, Echoes do, really play a part. Yesterday haunts puts him in the dread Sinking in reality he was dead.

But these echoes don’t always torment, They also possess emotions that we can never invent. They may curse you and make you plead, But they can also bless you and make you lead.

They comfort me, help me push, I succeed and to it shall the world hush. They help me triumph and hold my victory, And with that I begin my own story.

The way echoes are, are dual, They help you or they pull you to a duel. But in the end, those are that shape us. Those craft us and those build us.

Was it yesterday, I realized, I was born, From the heavens without being torn?

Was it yesterday, I used to weep “Stomach Pain” To bunk school, achieving no gain? But I did go to school, angry and sad But so did I return daily, as a happy lad

Was it yesterday, when we used to spend every moment With family and friends at home Now we do long for such moments, In a home away from home

Well, what are these, These are the echoes of Yesterday, Which we long to hear, Even today!!

Sometimes I remember things From days that passed away. Little moments come back to me Sounds like the soft echoes of yesterday

I think about the fun I had, The smiles and games we shared. Those memories make me happy still, Even as life puts me through ups and downs.

As I look towards what's ahead, I keep those moments close and true. The past may be gone, but never forgotten, And the echoes of yesterday still ring in my ear.
