A Letter to my Wife
Dear….
On….a memorable day
I began a new chapter with you in my life
On this day
I chose to wed my wife
Our first dance,
“A ribbon in the sky”
Even though I couldn’t dance
It was our special day so I had to try
Married to quick though
Assuming it was going to last
The first couple of years… it went by so fast
At the start
We were just happy…
Way in over our heads,
In too deep
Running off together
But the cliff of life for us was way to steep.
We only knew the bare
Minimum about each other
Like we both kept secrets…
Like we weren’t true lovers…
And we also didn’t account for the future...
But we did have a crazy ride
On this hell of an adventure.
Not knowing where we
Were gonna go
Young and wild at the time,
And just going with the flow.
Sadly what I saw in you
At the beginning
I don’t see no “mo”
It’s dim…the light that once glowed.
But now that we’re older
We can see more clearer
No more cloudy windows
And no more dirty mirrors
I hope no harsh feelings
Come with this divorce
As we part ways
And chart a new life course…
