Wedding Day

The guests have arrived, and the scene is set.

I hope this isn’t something I will regret.

Do I doubt you or do I doubt myself?

I know I don’t want to be with anyone else.

Yet my stomach is in knots tied around feet.

The wedding march is only second to my heartbeat.

I am scared and frightened of what our life may bring.

Although, I know with out you I loose one thing, my soul.

I love your scent, your laugh, and your smile.

Still my legs are frozen with fear, you would think I was on trial.

My dazzling beauty you’re now within sight, yet I am still confused as to whether this is right.

My collar is tightening around my neck, because I getting ready to say those words I will never forget.

The closer you get the harder it is to breathe. Do I stay, or do I leave?

Questions without answers encircle my mind, my heart wrestles confusion I don’t have much time.

My head is spinning and feel like I may fall. I can’t do that I must stand up tall.

Now you are standing next to me, if you could only read my mind.

I wonder what you would think about how I am feeling. Wait, why did you glance up to the ceiling?

My baby you’re trying not to cry, and yet I see a little tear drop falling from your eye.

What was I thinking?

How could I be scared after all the moments that we have shared?

There it is that glance you gave me on our first date. That was the minute I knew you were my soul mate.

What was that question that you just asked me? Damn right I do for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my wife.

I DO.
