Stepped into my life
with me at my deadliest,
You without precedent
revived with your charm…
Stepped away from the knife
with my heart at it’s heaviest,
Music was prescient,
five years before harm.
You took me away
to a magical island,
You made me smile and –
you gave me a dream,
A fantasy marriage
of invisible diamonds…
A wedding cake frosted
with vanishing cream.
I loved you freely
in sickness and health,
Was I really just one
in that castle of sand?
Because you said you loved
but could not love yourself,
It’s over,
It’s done,
Can one understand?
But the truth is perception;
my view of you’s changing…
Time can fly quickly
or bleed by so slow…
Our love could prove true
with these vows we’re exchanging…
Still hurting…
but no one but you
needs to know.
The pain comes in waves
as my sand castle crumbles…
Love keeps ablaze
when the tide is too strong…
For relationships last
even when we have stumbles…
And my love for you
could not ever be wrong.
So a toast to the man
who’s love made me better…
I hope you can learn
to find love for yourself…
The value you seek
is there beyond measure…
Beauty is currency:
here’s to your wealth!
And of what I would give you
five years is a vial,
If you would allow me
to walk by your side…
And even if we never
walk down that aisle..
I will always be yours
and will love you with pride.
