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”
Bon Iver - Roslyn
