On a blind date, is how we met,
That clear night I could never forget,
Silly as it sounds I lent her Chapstick within seconds of meeting,
Taking leaps and bounds a gesture of intimacy in a moment fleeting,
Thinking I was going to dinner as the third wheel,
What I had only imagined was unfolding real,
I remember back when I first saw her in a picture,
It was taken by a friend, her beauty spoke to me like scripute,
That must have been where this chapter starts,
The door was opening up something withing my heart,
She asked me on another date filled with show and action,
The night so alive and seemless it proppeled the attraction,
A natural fit like we’d been friends in another life,
It was no suprise that within a year she’d be my wife,
We were expecting, filled with excitement and care,
Into her eyes I kept reflecting about her beauty so rare,
Just like that I had found my other half,
All coming together along our winding path,
We were excited, ready for a life full of love,
Wedding planned, no greater moment to take hold of,
The day was filled with love, friends and family,
Just watch our wedding video and you’d see,
The day we married was full of joy and fullfillment,
Her smile and glow there was nothing so brilliant,
We loaded up in a 38 Buick, our driver shut the door,
The day was coming to an end, life was opening to ever more,
The fireworks showered, the moon watched us from high,
We were not expecting what was to come in the dark of the night,
By towncar we left into the city wearing our new wedding band,
We were to fly out the next morning to where the palm trees line the sand,
As the next day began his world came to an end,
A promise broken with no chance to mend,
How fast could we go from such a high to depths so low,
My love lost its way, I lost my way to go,
I started caring for her like she was a delicate flower,
Lost in my fog, a ship rudderless, without power,
Going through the motions stuck in the story before,
Yesterday’s script not fitting today’s lore,
Ten years past with the life of a broken soul,
Wandering down the road looking to pay the toll,
She left the man who was in that ship,
For space was needed and time to re-equip,
Re-tool and re-build, look back only to learn for tomorrow,
I’m opening doors with time not to borrow.
