I Do.

"Hey Baby girl, how you doin today?"
was all he had to say.
with his smile and how he looked at me,
he's had me since that day.

all he ever had to do,
was hold me in his arms,
he made it his job, and enjoyed it too,
and he kept me away from harm.

his smirk would speak a million words,
and he laugh would make me feel free.
but most of all, the best thing was,
he really cared for me.

so now as he waits at the end of the aisle,
for his beautiful soon to be bride,
i take the time to ask myself why i gave him up,
now, really, why?

he smiles at me now,
and i can't help but smile back.
and in this instant all our memories,
suddenly flood on back.

the walks, the talks, the kisses.
they way he held my hand.
the whispers at night, the cuddling,
they way he would flaunt that he was my man.

the jokes, the hugs, the goofing around.
the endless passionate nights.
the serious times when we would try not to laugh,
and even, of course, the fights.

that when i stand up from my seat,
and i walk up to the stand.
because that bride should be me,
and he should still be my man.

my palms are sweaty and my heart beats fast,
my hands begin to shake.
i know in my heart that ever letting him go,
was my biggest and worst mistake.

this cannot be real, this cannot happen,
he should be marrying me.
but i look into his eyes, i know this is right,
i'm not blind; i can finally see.

he looks at me with a twinkle in his eyes,
because he knows what i'm about to do.....
that's when i wake up and realize,
that it really was me to say, "I Do."
