It saddens me to look at you and see my future

because its portrait showcases a pale blue sky, wrapped behind heavy fog

the very sight of my life continued with you, is ugly

our commitment to one another was like a flower in full bloom

blossoming even more as we experienced the sun shinning upon us

warming our hearts with a love like no other

unfortunately, as the seasons changed

so did our flower because we didn't protect it

instead of giving it the best care

we simply enjoyed it, during its greatest bloom

not realizing that if we didn't preserve it during the cold

it would die and lose its passion forever

now our garden of love is full of weeds

all beauty is gone

because both of us acted as heartless beasts

two selfish and prideful beings

who wouldn't take the time to give back all the love we consumed

now we are left with sweet memories turned sour

at the very sight of each other

being ever so eager to say I do

breaks my heart to now say I don't, love you anymore

I was your knight in shinning armor

and you were my queen

nothing or no one could keep me away from you 

I would fight the man who'd dare

but I'd only be battling myself

because I stepped in my own way to the gate of your heart

from keeping things from you

to not holding you when you needed consolation 

I have created a gap in the bridge that connected us

now the paths that we once walked together

rest on opposite sides of the river

I ask myself the question

how can I get next to you now?

and I ponder on asking 

do I even want to?

is it even worth the effort?

then I  closed my eyes

turned the ignition of my mind and I traveled back in time

I journey through the years that got us to this place

then I stopped, opened up my eyes, and I looked into yours

this time when I looked at you, I smiled

for the first time in a long while, I saw your beauty again

the way those gentle eyes of yours pierced back at me

made me realize that I am the luckiest man in the world

to have you as my wife

at that moment, I knew exactly what needed to be done to bridge our gap

as I walked closer toward you, I begin to say the words, "I'm sorry"

each time I would say it, another gap would fill 

suddenly' I approached the last gap

I shouted, "I'm sorry" in excitement to connect with you once again

but the gap remained unfilled and I begin to sigh thinking to myself, maybe its too late

then I heard your small voice cry out, saying "I'm sorry too"

the last gap was filled

and at the very moment when we embraced

I knew that my future will be great

because I'll share it with you!
