Someday
We think we know … but we don’t
We think we understand … but we can’t
So, we react to what we 'think' they're thinking
But, we probably get it wrong … or at least confused
We live, we love, we even laugh
Our lives intersect, but no longer intertwine
We talk, but we don’t yet dare communicate
We no longer share our inner thoughts …
Our hopes and our hurts …
Our dreams and our doubts …
Our reasons for rejoicing and our reasons for regretting
But someday we will ...
… Someday…
… Even if not today.
And when that Someday does arrives, and it most assuredly will
We’ll both discover …
We’re even stronger …
More in love …
More deeply connected…
Than we ever could have been before that earlier ‘Someday’ changed our lives.
…Someday!
