To the bright shining sun,
To clouds in the sky,
And the swallows squawking at each others.
I woke up today,
To leaves on the ground,
Wet ground,
The transition of fall to winter.
I woke up today,
To the smell of lilies in my room,
Smiles on the face of my family,
A text message from you saying you love me.
I woke up today,
And I put on a white dress,
To the sound of cars rushing by,
And people stopping to see me.
I woke up today,
I went to church,
Walked down the aisle,
Faced the priest and held your hand.
I woke up today,
And danced into the night with you,
We made sweet love,
I feel asleep listening to you breathe.
I woke up today,
Single.
I go to sleep now,
Not.
