I’m standing at a distance.
You’re on the other side
I see the door in between.
And I hesitate to step inside.
You are patiently waiting
You are calm and certain.
Hurt many times before
Afraid to trust once more
I stand in the entry to you
Watching to see the proof.
You hold your stance strong
You keep your gaze fixed.
The allure of your heart
The beauty of your spirit
Is calling out to me.
I hear you yet I pause
I linger as I watch
The way you are
The way you speak.
The room is full of good
You’ve assured repeatedly.
I finally step into the room
And only then do I realize,
You are doing the same
Giving precious trust to me.
Standing in this room,
I see my choice is you
And you have chose me.
Skin on skin, soul to soul
We share the vulnerable,
We enter matrimonial.
