The Vow

As the sun shines through the colored windows, the room lights up significantly. The light pink flowers seem to have a brighter color than they had in the flowers shop, and every detail in the paintings, is more clear from when they were hidden in the dark. You can see the dust in the sunbeams, making me notice what I'm breathing in smells old and foreign. The eyes in the roof watch over us with soft and delicate stares, but they somehow make me sadder in such a happy place.

His brown curls are styled perfectly, complimenting his flawless face. The black suit he's wearing, fits him like its tailored-made. It's simple, but so elegant. I can see his emerald green eyes lit up when the doors across the room opens, revealing her.

Making her way over to him, she takes small and slow steps. She enjoys having everyone's eyes on her, she always has ever since high school. But how could they not? Even I couldn't take my eyes of off her in the most beautiful dress I've ever laid eyes on. The expensive lace hugged her curves perfectly, before flouting out. The gems on the dress reflected the sunshine, making the dress sparkle. She looked like a model on the front page of a wedding magazine. She was absolutely breathtaking!

His smile grew bigger when she reaches him, showing off his completely white pearls. Even though I am surrendered by people I've known or met several times in my life, I can't help but feel incomplete without him by my side. He looks at her like she's the only human in the entire world, like he's dependent on her, like I don't exist any longer. It feels like I'm on fire like a thousand suns. I am jealous and I'm afraid I will explode at any given moment if I continue to look at them.

After a while, it starts to hurt sitting on the bench made out of hard wood. I know weddings usually last for a while, but this is unbearable. As the ceremony continues, the best part of a wedding is approaching. The vows. It's such a beautiful way of claiming your love to your partner. You can truly tell them what you always wanted to say at the perfect moment.

"Dear Annalyn, my soulmate, my best friend, the love of my life." He starts and I can feel tears threatening to roll down my cheek.

"Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were special to me. But it wasn't until I started to feel nervous around you, and I couldn't find myself to say "no" to you, that I realized I loved you. You still make me breathless just by looking at you. I could drown in just your shining eyes, filled with passion, happiness and love. I am honored to have the privilege to say that I've known and loved you for a very, very long time, and to say that I am your husband from now on. For your eyes only, I showed you my heart when no one was interested. Life without you isn't worth living, because you're my purpose. You were there for me, when I needed someone the most. Without you, I wouldn't be the same person that I am today. Without you, I'm only half a heart, mind and soul. I promise to love you unconditionally no matter what, and to be there for you no matter what reason. If I'm not by your side physically, I will be there spiritually." He continues.

Even though I practically wrote his vows for him and practice it with him a thousand times, I can never get bored hearing those words leaving his mouth. Neither less if they are meant for me, or not. And as he finishes by saying "I love you." I can't help but whisper it at the same time, a tear rolling down my cheek.
