Working hard to catch up!
The day I met him was a frightful one,
With teeth and blood and loss combined,
But still I'm glad it happened then,
Or for a beau I still would pine.
The night I realized how much I cared
Was the night he gave me something special,
The night I accepted and then he dared
To place around my neck the small piece of metal.
It symbolized more than just a gift,
'Twas a promise to us both
That at the end, when all would shift,
We'd swear to one another a solemn oath.
We waited and waited for the war to end,
But to our grief it took a year
Till the fighting stopped and all were friends,
Then came the words I longed to hear:
He said in the moonlight under the stars,
"Stay with me forever my love,
Stay, and from my side don't go far
Till we both are gone to up above."
The stars had never seemed so bright,
Nor the moon so round and clear.
I sat a moment in perfect quiet,
Then I threw my arms around him and whispered,
"Yes, my dear, how could I refuse?
How could I bear to say 'I won't,'
When in doing so, my happiness I'd lose?
So yes, my darling, yes to you."
We waited and planned for our special day,
On which we'd be joined together,
Both of us bound by oath to stay
With the other, forever and ever.
It's now the day before the wedding,
The last day that we must wait
The last night we won't be pledged;
Tomorrow, tomorrow is the date.
I'm going in search of my betrothed,
To speak to him and tell him everything
Swirling in my mind and heart,
The love that assures me we can go through anything.
A/N: Not a good poem and not a bad one. :) I enjoyed writing it though, and did not expect it! Please tell me what you think, how it could be improved, etc. You probably noticed I didn't give any names in it. I was thinking of Heather when I wrote it, but technically it could be a number of does...maybe. What do you think?
