With a kiss goodbye, one that lingered on my lips,
Three very long, hectic days spread out before me,
My heart a loud echo in my ears
As I watched you wave as friends took you from me.
I sighed softly as mine crowded around,
Bubbling and bursting from excitement and happiness;
They asked me questions and tugged me inside the house,
My smile grew wider as they talked of different tasks.
Each day dragged on as my nervous excitement coursed through my veins,
Each one just another few hours leading up to one so special, so sweet;
My heart pumping wildly each morning I woke, each harder than the last
But it was now the day I've been anticipating.
My friends rushed me into the room, bustling about as they got me ready,
I tried to help them as much as I was allowed to, though my mind was far away;
As they did my hair and makeup, they asked if I was excited, happy,
I just nodded, not being able to speak past the lump in my throat, not being able to find the right words to say.
They lifted me out of the chair and away from the mirror,
Turning me towards the bag hanging on the closet door,
Their smiles growing large as they unzipped it,
My eyes widening and filling until they were sore.
I mutely stared at the gown,
One so beautiful, so purely white as if the finest snow,
And got lost in the folds and the length of the veil,
Staring into the attire that lead me to my future, my love.
