bright?

ten years from now
on my way to the alter
i'll notice my shoe laces have come untied
i'll wonder if maybe i'm destined to falter
or fail completely
in search of a bride

ten years from now
on her way to the alter
she'll notice my love letters under her feet
she'll wonder if maybe those thoughts are unaltered
and if maybe i would
want to repeat

ten years from now
on their way to the alter
my bride and her groom will have puzzled looks
they'll wonder if our hearts are their loving shelters
sign unwritten contracts
in unwritten books
