Bride to Be

Closing my eyes,

feeling soft fabric tighten

around my body.

This is the first time

I’ll see myself like this.

I never thought

I’d be that girl

imagining the day

she walks down the aisle.

Her eyes locked with his.

Changing leaves, autumn breeze,

a beautiful day for a beautiful couple.

Then I open my eyes

and start to cry.

I’ve never been so happy

for a preview.
