There you were in a tux
looking so handsome,
with the love of your life
standing right beside you,
about to say “I do.”
You seemed restless,
as if you were searching
for someone and right then,
those dazzling amber eyes of yours
found mine.
You were tensed,
maybe you were wondering
why I was there
on your special day,
which I wasn’t a part of.
Well, I was there not for you
as you would have thought.
I was there for me,
to see you for the last time
before you became someone else’s.
I know it doesn’t matter
if I’m there or not.
You have someone else now
to kiss all your pain away,
to make all your good days better.
I wish you all the happiness
in the world, even if it’s not
with me, even if it’s with her.
You’re with the love of your life
while I’m still reminiscing what we had.
You looked away from me,
and realized that everyone was
expecting something from you.
And you said it to her which
I used to think was only for me.
You promised to spend your forever
with her, in front of everyone.
You promised her what you once
promised me, in just two words,
“I do.”

Another heartfelt post where you can feel the emotions of that replaced love. The infamous lines of “I want you to be happy even if it’s not with me”. The pain in saying that and then seeing it come to fruition. Takes a lot of strength to watch your dream get taken away to become someone else’s special day. Lots of emotion and a brilliant flow lovely.🌹🌹. You nailed this one.
