someday is a long, far away word
where patience doesn’t shine.

someday is a trip to Florida
where all your older brothers went…
you waited to go with your family,
and went with the kind neighbors instead.

someday is a corvette when I am 17…
and realizing when you are 16 and a half
that someday was only a white lie whispered,
so that I would look up to you, and love you forever.

someday is walking me down the aisle
in a fairytale wedding, a love that will last forever,
with grandchildren and the house at the shore
and suddenly, someday was no more.

someday is a place that will never be
the place that you want,
or the place you need it to be.
