Happily Ever After

by Mandi Dawson

I'm not going to reveal my identity.

I see you there
I sit and smile
I wonder if I'll ever get you
And if we'll go the extra mile.

I hide me from you
I'm afraid that you'll hate
The real me that's inside
I fear you'll never be my soul mate

I'd never lie, I'd never cheat
I promise never to betray
I think about you night and day
You're the one I dream of always

Before, my life was so dark
Everything I saw was shades of gray
But when I see you, so perfect
I have nothing to do, but pray

Finally, I get the nerve
To finally say how I feel
You stand there in shock
With me hoping that you'd appeal.

Finally, you smile
I breath in a sigh of relief
As you confess to
How you feel about me

But instead, you use the word 'love'
My heart jumps with shock
Then I look into your eyes
And realize your intention is not to mock.

You lean down, connecting your lips with mine
"Finally" I think, as I kiss you back
You graze your had against my cheek
I'm finally starting to relax

The next few months flew
Us only having one single fight
That, though, just grew our love
Until that one faithful night

We lay there, watching the stars
We said not a word, and held each other's hand
You finally moved, reaching into your pocket
then slid onto my finger, a small engagement band

I didn't notice it at first
But then, I glance at it
My eyes filled with tears, my smile grew
because I knew that we'd make it

I love you, as I know you do love me too
From this moment on
I knew that our lives would change
we were a walking love song.

I walk down the white rug
And met you, said "I do"
My mother cried, as did yours
You looked at me and said, "I love you."
