You’re on the other side,
The city has broken itself into distance between us.
And here I stand, at the edge of a promise wearing hope in silk.

You are too far for my eyes to see you, but close enough to raise strong doubt in me.
The aisle I am about to walk feels longer today, as if it knows what I am afraid to ask;

Is it confidence that carried me here today, or love coming to stand with me, to wait for you, one last time?
Will you finally arrive, so that I believe in forever...
Or will you not and love will leave me to shame for a companion?

But I will still stand here with an open heart, letting this moment decide our truth,
Because this is my final way of telling you out loud that I love you, though your absence will be your final way of telling me you don't.
