always behind me

sometimes i prefer to live in the present
see and hear and breathe the present
when i'm happy i only belong to the present
i will purposefully live to the fullest in the present
when i think i'm in love again i cannot do without the present
when i forget you i only want the future and the present
in my simple mind i dwell only in the present
for the present
forever in the present
but when the old pain swells up again, the present
falls away and i see and hear and breathe yesterday
the way you saw me and turned away
you didn't just move on you moved away
and on these miserable days i drop my present
and wallow in the past hoping to 
perhaps find my way back to you.
