Last Tales

Second Tale~~ "I do" ~~

She was there standing by the door looking so beautiful while the sweet melodious wedding song was playing. I never saw anything more beautiful than watching her slowly and gracefully walking down the aisle, holding a bouquet of flowers, stunning and teary eyed.

She was the most beautiful girl I ever met and now, the most beautiful woman I ever saw. I smile as I met her eyes. She was staring at me and I wish, oh how I wish that she would see how lovely she was through my eyes. And I wish that she would see how much I love her by just looking into my eyes.

She has been my best friend, my princess, the only woman I set my eyes on and the only woman how holds my heart. And now, she was walking towards her future, towards the new chapter of her life, towards me. And as she continue smiling at me, my heart continue its erratic beating. I couldn’t stop it nor do I want to. There and then, she always took my breath away and today was no exception.

I’ve been in love with her since the day I learn the meaning of love. She’s everything a man could ask for… She’s everything to me.

During the time that she was planning everything about this occasion I was there with her, sitting next to her and silently dreaming a future with her. Every time she ask me if everything is okay with me, I will just give her a reassuring smile, touch her face for a little while and keep smiling to death as I nod.

I love her. And from time to time I always thought that, that’s the only reason I breathe. I wanted to protect her and always be there for her.

When finally she was in front of the altar the tears that has been flowing gently in her eyes were now like rain drops pouring. I watched her cry that time and stop myself from taking her into my arms and make her stop. I reminded myself that she was crying because of too much joy and happiness. My heart was starting to get numb because of the sight of her but it doesn’t matter anymore. Her, being happy was more important than what I feel.

I love her. I can feel that my heart only beats for her and I doubt that there will be another woman again in my life that will make my heart beat like this ever again.

When the preacher started to talk, I watched her. Her face was glowing and her eyes were shining then, she smile and that completes the picture of her ever beautiful innocent face. I watched her, second by tormented second and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her.

“Do you swear to protect her at all cost at all times?” the preacher asked.

I do.

“Do you swear to always be there for her when everything falls apart?”
