A Letter From Tomorrow

i know that today was not
what you wanted it to be

a job that left you
feeling empty and aggravated
a lover that left you alone
with a memory that
will take time to shake

i know that what you want
right now
is just to crawl into bed
fall asleep to the t.v.
and spend the next twenty-four hours
unconscious
in a state of slumber

you don't want to wake up in the morning
having to face another day like today

i promise
you won't

i
will be
different

i cannot guarantee you will be happy
with all i have to give
but you have my word
that it will not be the same

so before you hit the snooze button
come dawn
know that i will be waiting for you
and i am as much yours
as i am anyone else's
