“…in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”
I smile and you smile, but my thoughts race wildly through all the reasons you might say No, no, I do not. And so now I want to say it out loud, my darling, that I’ve never told you this but I fell in love with you the way meteoroids fall—remember how you loved watching those with me on summer nights?—absolutely and irretrievably. Twelve years we’ve been friends, Ted, doesn’t that mean anything?
“I do.”
Right. Of course it doesn’t. You kiss my colleague in white and everyone cheers.
A well written piece that tugs at the heart strings. Kudos.
Thanks Kevin :?)
