Marriage

My heart racing fast
sweat on my forehead
My ears were oblivious
to what was being said.

I stood there stupefied
wondering what to do
what state of madness
this situation brought me to.

The nerves were a wreck
I wanted to run far away
I could not bear the burden
of responsibilities coming my way

Then she appeared before me
all demure and shy
A subdued smile on her lips
probably a tear in her eye

Her beauty was enchanting
and my heart skipped a beat
Her lips so full of life
her voice so sweet.

And suddenly the world changed
and I did not want to run away
I wanted to hold her, kiss her
and make love to her all day.

I could not live without her
that I came to know for sure
I could take on the world if she was with me
and suddenly I wasn't afraid any more.
