Anniversary (Completed)

Ten years ago last month, we met.

In those ten years we’d become something I almost regret,

In those ten years he looked more dashing with everyday.

In those ten years I had fallen for him in every way.

In ten years I had made a huge mistake,

In ten years I made both our hearts ache.

Four years ago he told me he was in love.

After I admitted mine he had nothing to hide.

I had messed it up though in these past four years,

Realizing I’d admitted it to the wrong one

A few months ago he told me it was final,

He told me he’d decided on his life from now on.

That day was the day he had made up his mind.

Today was the day I had made up mine.

As we all dressed in our ties and watched the cake make it in safe.

As we watched the wedding party files into the church,

I hoped to myself this would not be another mistake.

As they said their vows and opened their hearts,

I opened mine and told the room my thoughts.

The bride was offended but, no less shocked,

While her groom stood with a smile upon his face,

“How I waited for those words to come out of your mouth,

Oh Chris, finally could we stop the game.

I’m sorry for before, I was not ready, you see,”

The man beside me’s smile grew as we finalized the wedding,

We finished the day off in bliss, with the sealing kiss.

Today marked a day just like I said,

The day my life with Jon came out of my dreams.
