Sacred matrimony
Our destined wish
To remain together
Until death do us part
How long has it been?
I’ve forgotten just how much
It almost feels like a blip
A single blink of the eye
How a singular blink– lasts for ages
Isn’t it wonderful?
It is. And yet it felt like there was time lost
We didn’t get to do everything together
Are you disappointed?
How can I be?
There we so many experiences we missed out on
Maybe. But life is fickle
I tried to do what you couldn’t
You didn’t need to dear
But I wanted to fulfill our wish
That’s why I came to love you so
What the minister proclaimed during the ceremony
“Til’ death do us part?”
I don’t understand it now
I feel I know why
Because you’re laying next to me
Just like every night?
Just like every night
Together
