someday


I used to say someday 

someday I can go do this

and be that

and have these

with all of them

and be with you

But it all became today

and tomorrow

and next week

right now.

What happened

to all the time in between?

My maybe someday dreams

became current nightmares

boring everydays

same old

same old. 

I used to long for a life like this

but now that it's mine

I wonder why

I wanted it so badly.

when all I ever wanted

really was right in front of me.

all those corny sayings

telling me over

and over

and over

You never know what you got until it's gone

so they were right.

because I still wish

I could go to yesterday

and last night

and that one time

and even a couple years ago.

I miss all the time in between.
