I Waited

The life of a couple until they get married.

He ran around with girls

He partied with his friends

At night, he sneaked in

I waited

I studied my books

I talked to my friends

At night, I slept soundly

He waited

He tried on tuxedos

He picked his best man

At night, he thought about his vows

I waited

I tried on a dress

I picked a Maid of Honour

At night, I thought about my vows

He waited

He picked a tuxedo

He chose a tie

At night, he wrote his vows

I waited

I picked a dress

I chose the flowers

At night, I wrote my vows

He waited

He stood at the altar

Next to his best man

He watched the doors

I waited

I stood outside the doors

Next to my brother

I started walking

He waited

We stood at the altar

Next to the priest

We said our vows

We waited

We drove away

Straight to the airport

We boarded the plane

And this time, we didn't wait

Beautiful writing! Poetry that describes everyday experiences is the most relatable of all, but a good piece is certainly very hard to find. This was good writing! The first stanza, for me, was a little out of place and could certainly use some rethinking. But great effort all in all! :D
