How long is it until, we get our lives back?
Where there's no fear of sickness, no fear of a virus attack?
When we will go out and about, without an errand at hand,
Make ordinary days special; without any grand plans.
When we'll meet up with friends for a drink, revel in the joys of a night-out
The time will appear to pass in a blink, and maybe, we will forget the word 'lockdown'.
When we'll dress up and go to cute places on dates;
Perhaps, we'll just be grateful to see another human face!
When we'll take a break from our homes and from the cooking,
Just to sample everything in the neighborhood bakery, relaxing in its cozy setting.
When we'll smile at babies because we think they are cute,
And they will stare back blankly... clearly giving us an attitude?
When we'll walk our pets without a time-limit,
Maybe talk to strangers, without worrying about the 'distance'.
When we'll once again see our colleagues every single day,
And celebrate birthdays, the proper way!
When we'll spend on things, maybe just out of greed,
But, maybe, now, we'll also spare a thought, for those in need!
How long until we get our lives back?
How long until everything is just a 'throwback'!
