Yesterday I missed my bus stop

Yesterday I missed my bus stop
Because I daydreamed about the future.

I smiled as I thought about taking
Those daily one second snippets
I would love and cherish.

I was imagining a whole year in review
Before it had already started,
Because I am excited
For the days to come.

The bus drove by my house,
And I gasped in surprise
And laughed a little inside,
Because I promise,
I usually don’t space out.

I distracted myself from today
And found myself in tomorrow,
Because I was thinking
About the memories I will make,
And the people I will meet,
And the people I will see again.

So, I got off at the next stop
And I opened my umbrella
Under the dancing rain,
And I smiled the whole way home
As I pondered on.

The world smiled back at me,
And I laughed a little more,
Because it looked a little bleak,
Under its screen of silver mist.

I missed seeing the sun –
She had been away for a while
Though, I didn’t mind.

But I knew it was because
She would see me tomorrow.
