Beyond the Veil

 

It was the most important day of my life

Was I ready for it? Of course I was

I was so excited and nervous for this day

But seeing you every day made it so much easier

Getting ready and planning was worth the time

Now it is here, the day I’ve been waiting for

Slipping my shoes on and getting my back laced up

I couldn’t be more ready to do this

With everyone I love with me makes it more special

All I think about is walking down that aisle

To end up standing next to you

The man of my dreams

The man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with

The music begins and people get in their places

I stand beside my father holding his hand

It felt like forever but here I am with you

You look at me through my veil

I have tears rolling down my cheek

You lift my veil over my face

And you kiss me with loving affection

We are here together to begin our new lives

There’s nothing like the beginning of your new life together

But even after that it’s all so romantic and amazing

As days and months go by you grow closer

But for some reason you seem to be slipping away

I don’t know for what reason you’re doing this

I push to get closer to you and you back off

It isn’t supposed to be like this

We are supposed to be in love and share with each other

All the things we were supposed to do you would never be there

You left me alone all the time

When you are around me in front of people

I feel like it’s an act you’re putting up

Like you had to be there and none of it meant anything to you

The times you are there with me it’s not there

The love we had for each other

The love you had for me is no longer there

You spent all your time away from me

I saw the way you looked at me through my veil

But that’s all you saw standing there

You never saw or even knew what lay beyond that veil

The life you had to live after all this with me

I don’t know if you were afraid or wanted something else

But your love is gone for me forever

You have made it clear you don’t want to be around me

I can’t keep hurting myself trying to make you love me

Like the way you used to

I wish the best of luck to you and whatever you do

But now it is my time to go on my own

To live the life that I have prepared myself without you
