The destroyed me...

Friend

She stood beside the bride, beautiful and kind,as the wedding outfit contrasted hers..

The white on her body stood out,in the loud celebration..

For the blessed union of two lovers..

My dearest,he said,and she looked at him from the crowd,

You are pure,he added..

She smiled ruefully..

You are kind,gentle, virtuous,he continued..

The bride smiled,admiring the man,and she too smiled,a friend she was..

You said you donot like adventure,you donot seek exitement,he continued..

And the bride looked up,her shy demure breaking..

And at a distance she smiled,at least he remembers..

But my life with you is an adventure,as I recall us meeting..

The groom said,his heartfelt confessions to his dearest..

And she,that faraway friend faded in the sadow as the crowd thinned and the groom kissed the bride..
