The Road Ahead

Letter

I had everything i thought i needed
But i bumped into you
And felt this emptiness inside

I'm sitting in front
Of a typewriter
And try to put into words
On how you changed my life.

You are clumsy,
You spilled coffee on my coat
You are noisy,
You wouldn't stop talking about how great i was
when i lost my job
You are a bad cook,
You nearly burned down my house
All because of an egg

I sit here and laugh,
And think about
How exciting my coming years would be
With you beside me

Then, i was only me
And now it's you and me
I'm guessing
That of all the things i have done
Bumping into you
Was the greatest of all

The road ahead of us will be,
Bumpy,
Noisy,
Loud,
Demanding,
With your mother and mine combined,
Always on the other end of the phone
Telling us on how to do it right

I woke up today, nervous
Not because i doubt you,
But because
I can't stop thinking
If I'll ever be good enough for you

I sent your brother out on an errand
He's buying a cup of coffee for you
Because i know how cranky you get
When you don't get your morning coffee

I'll also be dropping this letter by later
While you're getting your make up done
Because i know how much you hate sitting still

Today is going to be the one time
That would forever bind me to you

You are the sun
You are the moon
You are the air

Without you,
I am lost
I walk down the hallway
Listen to the door,
And hear you laugh

I can't wait to see you later
Walk down the aisle
Say I do,
And kiss me
As Mrs. Luke

Always,

Mr. Luke
