Happy ever after
single hint
never mentioned the purest moments
fine print.
It’s the mirror, kaleidoscope
moving history in my eyes, floating:
The first kiss
the first month
the first fight
makeup
makeup again
meeting the parents
they still hate me
you wear my ring
the night we got our first dog from the rescue shelter
we called him Raisin.
never mentioned the purest moments
single hint.
Breaking promises
it wasn’t her- words tripped a long the checkered flag
threw the ring
phone doesn’t ring
still with her mom
they really hate me now
haven’t seen Raisin in a week
have never felt this weak.
Happily ever after
the fine print.
Sister is getting married
she stole our wedding plans
down the Rockies along the river bank
we laughed and hoped she tripped
not really though
but maybe just a small trip
you stole the show
and I remembered,
It’s the mirror.
Bad Days will come
Bad Weeks will follow
Bad Months will drag
a single hint?
No one ever mentioned the purest moment
was the Bad, the happy ever after, the fine print
and we danced.
