What it feels like to die

Restaurant

Restaurant

My heart is beating so fast

I don’t know how to possibly slow it down

I sit here in a beautiful restaurant

Staring at him

A little girl sitting with her family

For a fancy dinner

She looks over her shoulder

 At two people

Sitting across from each other

Holding hands

She wondered if she would love anybody like that

And she wondered if that couple had gotten into a fight

Before they came to that restaurant

Or maybe this was their first date

I hold his hand tighter

I don’t want to lose him

I don’t ever want to lose him

I know that to somebody else he might be

Just some guy or a bystander

Or someone that stood in front of her in line

But to me he is more than I could ever express

I wonder if people could see that

He holds on to my hands

And he stares directly into my eyes

My soul

I smiled softly knowing that someday

I’ll be standing in front of this man

Wearing a beautiful white dress

And watching her smile like that

I know that someday that I will be standing in front of her

And I will be smiling when I say

“I do”
