Someday

Someday seemed so far from us

when it was still today

when time and space and circumstance

were standing in the way

When someday was the wish you wished

and promises were pledged

someday seemed so far away

and the gaps too wide to bridge

So someday was replaced by what

is now what is to be

but today seems such a waste of time

and a sad reality

Because someday came some time ago

and time,  it always flies

it seems so slow to those who wait

yet disappears if you blink your eyes

So here we are beyond that someday

that someday of the past

and I wish it was the someday promised

that was here today at last

For this someday that has come to be

is not my chosen way

and it teases me with memories

of my beloved lost someday

And I'd trade all of today's moments

if I could find a way

to return to that someday we lost

on that fateful yesterday

Regrets for lost dreams are a waste of time but dreams of new ones open up possibility
