Someday Perhaps Poem by Carol Fleming Klein

Someday perhaps
On some bright spring morning
in a distant future
we will look back together
as friends
and reminisce
and laugh
about the things
we did
the times we had.

Someday perhaps
But today
is a cold winter
in my heart
with an overcast sky
And emptiness
where I wish
Your love could be.
I love you
and I wish
you could
feel the same

But I would never
want you to be untrue
to who you are
and where you're headed
or wish you
anything but free.

Please don't think
badly of me
because I weep
because I wish
our direction was together.

I love you
But today it hurts
Today the child howls
and the woman weeps.

Someday perhaps
On a bright distant spring morning
I will look back
without pain
with fond memories
and understand.
