the wedding

the bouquet of flowers that i will never toss...
the chant of the choir that i will never hear...
the aisle that i will never walk down to...
the candles that will never be lit...
the cake that we will never slice...
the butterflies that we will never set free...
the ring that you will never wear in my finger...
the vow that we will never speak of...
the veil that you will not take off...
the kiss that will never seal our love...
the wine that we'll never drink...
and most of all,
the groom...
the man i want to stay with for the rest of my life,
is the man that i will never have..
