She

She never had a wedding dress,

Never danced in the sun,

Never stepped out of the crowd,

Never felt life was undone.

She didn't need to step forward.

She sparkled from afar -

She held a brilliance from within,

Much stronger than a star.

She could shoot through her dreams

And wonder what it would be like

To have everyone watch her

As she took her nuptial flight.

The secret she shared

With the love so true,

Was bright as the Rose

He gave her

When he said ‘I love you’.

Stars twinkle in the air.

Heartbeats,

Holding hands,

Walking to the future they share.
