Sitting by the Bench, on Your Bridal Day
(Circa 2009)
You look so happy on your bridal day
I saw you, for I was there outside the Church
Pretending not to mind...
Just sitting there on a bench
in the stillness of the hour;
People walking, passing by with a smile
Talking, giving greetings of congratulations
As you smile back, like a fresh flower
in the midst of this City.
Alas, a flower in bloom!
Not a single sign of gloom-
you do show;
Proud of the path you have chosen
without regret, without remembering
the time, or day, I was there...
The Church bells played; a mellow, sweet tune
So sweet, the tune, it pierced my heart.
And there I sat, thinking wild thoughts,
I couldnt stand it. It was all too late!
The wind blew, and I thought it was beginning to rain,
But the clear sunshine told me that I was deceived,
It was just me, and these wild thoughts...
You look so happy on your bridal day
As you pass by, beside him
How lovely you look, on this bright sunny day.
While you looked, without remembering,
In turn I smiled, but never looked up.
As you pass by, the sun fades away
the light fades... Yes it fades... fades away... in this melancholy, incessant rain..
