A Wedding

I woke up today,

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.
