Someday

Staring out to space
staring into a screen
eyes glazed, dazed.
where have i been?

Been sitting working for hours
just staring at a screen
it'd be so nice to hold the hand
of a girl who loves me

She could tell me it's alright
and that tomorrow is Sunday
and we could go for a walk
a quick break to talk

but I guess that's a dream
I don't really want filled.

Someday, sometime
when I'm a little less selfish
and a lot more mature.
when I really know God
and really love her

That day I'll hold hands
that day I'll talk
and that day we'll go
for a lovely long walk.

but for now I'll just stare into space
Dazed. Eyes glazed.
and get back to work.
