title

he whispered
softly tenderly

held me close
so close

his arms felt safe
his chest felt hot

i knew then
i'd never leave

days remembered
sunsets numbered

the smiles
and laughter
were endless

the ring
felt so pure
on my finger

the gold
shined bright
with rays of hope

my dress was white
the brightest white
of youthful days untold

my veil
i hid behind
knowing all
could not know

his kiss
cured my heart
i never looked back

there he is
today
i smile
when i see him

he sits in that chair
he mows the lawn
he empties the trash

i touch his tools
when he's not there

his strength
weakens my knees

and he doesnt even know
