Wedding bells ring in the distance
Long dresses, eloquent bouquets
She’s preparing to be a Misses
With her overly sincere vows to say

My rear view mirror was never the best visual
But through every storm it did last
You see, I would’ve been in attendance
But my invite aside she specifically cast

I watch as the girls enter in peach
What an awful color she chose
Almost as hideous as her satin gown
Like a penguin she walks as she goes

I find myself bolting out of my car
My friends look at me in awe
But something tells me she won’t feel the same
But if only she truly saw

I barge in through the large glass doors
The noise not bothering to seize
But lucky for me the preacher had just finished his line,
“Speak now or forever hold your peace”

“Don’t say yes!” I screamed like I controlled my action
And the crowd turned around with a fright
But somehow I did not even see them that day
For only his crystal blue eyes I had in sight

To the back door he ran faster than rays
And I soared into his arms.
He threw his tie into the crowd
And he smiled and put on his charm.

I turn around real fast just to get a glimpse
And let in it all sink.
That frown on her face brought a smile to mine
So I left her with a smirk and a wink.

I have never truly been the type of person
To be bold, fearless or daring
To take a leap of faith in a crucial time
And proclaim my love by sharing.

I suppose that’s why that day never came
Except in my wildest dreams
But I play it back as a reminder to myself
That nothing is ever as it seems.
