This I Promise You

(Roan Keating)

Walking down the aisle as she had never imagined before, at the end of the carpet stood her hero as she walked on dress trailing behind she heard Jack's words in her ears, the hero always gets the girl. Gwen smiled because she knew looking at Rhys' warm smile he was that hero. Standing in front of him she felt ready to owe her life to him now, they clasped hands in matrimony and reassurance, warmth flowing between them, making a connection. She turned her gap toothed smile up to the eyes of her man. His hazel eyes swirled with what would come in their life together; no one else could be this man. Gwen though I promise you my love, my comfort, my reassurance, my all and with that she uttered the words I DO, and Rhys' eyes searched hers and all the answers were there. Gwen's life at the moment had been running beneath her, but now there was stability and there was nowhere else for her to run but into his open arms and she knew she would be happy there.

Dancing closer than before, Rhys' heartbeat reached through to her own and she realised they beated in the same rhythm, they were together now and she wrapped her arms tighter around his neck willing him with her heart to never let her go. A lone tear trickled down her cheek and stained his shirt, they were for each other forever that was clear now. Out of the corner of her eye Gwen caught a glimpse of Jack smiling from a distance as he watched his heroin with her hero, he winked at her but she only smiled back. Jack could never be the one for her, he was wrong and although she knew it made his heart ache she had made her promise to Rhys now and she vowed to keep it forever more.
