Never Meant For Me

It would never be
You said to me
I do
Never meant for me
Just you

Today you promise
To love him forever
And a dream
A call
And an adventure began

It would never be
My friend--
But there the little
Flower girl's tulle
Caught all the little bugs
While she rolled in the dirt
And the bridesmaid held
A cicada ridden flowers
Through the entire ceremony

It would never be
We thought
As transatlantic pain
Found you
When I held my little one
In my hand
It would never be
I said

But here we are--
It would never be
We thought
But here I stand at
Your wedding
With the little babe
In me

What else do we think
Will never be?

Let it come,
Let it be.

Happy birthday, Ruru ❤
