Me and My Wife

Me and My Wife

A Poem by Salem

Me and my wife
Have a wonderful life 
We love each other so much
But that does not mean, we never strife

I liked her when I was nineteen
Though she has no Idea as she was only sixteen
I never talked to her at that time 
I didn't try to woo her or make a love scene 

Two years later and I'm a twenty one
Yes, I still didn't talk to her not even once
So beautiful, wonderful and gorgeous she was
Her smile brightness was like the brightness of sun

She lives three blocks away from my street
She like chocolates and all kinds of sweets 
She like pizza and always at burger king 
But still, she all fit from head to feet 

So came the day where I had the gut 
I ran to her at a mall parking lot 
I said hi and she said you look familiar 
And I felt like I got a hundred thousands shots 

I'm a friend of Jowan and we have met before
Remembered me? Or you memory needs system restore 
I laughed and awkwardly she stared 
"I'm sorry whatever I said please just ignore"

She said it's OK and together we blend
I was a dork but we became friends 
I don't know how that happened
But I will assure to enjoy together the time we spend

Another year has passed and now I'm twenty two
We became best friends and weird friends too
I asked who would marry a girl like her 
And she replied "well, definitely not you" 

I laughed and she did smile 
It burned me inside but it's her style 
Yes sarcastic and I don't blame her
As I do the same and she is a worthwhile 

Two years later I'm twenty four 
She had a boyfriend and I've lost the war
I felt like I have been friend-zoned
Nothing to do about it nothing anymore 

Two months later and he broke her heart 
He cheated on her and they drifted apart
She cried on my shoulder and then she said
She would like to have someone like me kind and smart 

She stepped backward and gazed at my eyes 
A tense situation but I felt like winning a prize 
She stepped forward and kissed me on my cheek 
She said if I had girlfriend, I have promise not to cheat

I said "wait I have a girlfriend! But she doesn't know"
I knew, liked and loved her six years ago 
But she sees me as friend and I don't know why 
Thought she was at my shoulder weeps and cries 

She held my hands and said "that seems too bad
That must be troubling you and you must be so sad
I said yes and that is right and true 
But if she is happy, I'm happy too

Night is upon us and it got too late 
She thanked me for my time and so she appreciates
For cheering her up and so she feels great 
And told me confess to my girl as she won't wait

She walked away and went back home 
I stood still on the beach all alone 
Thinking why I can't just tell her 
I have to get out of this friend zone 

"Since when?" From behind I heard a voice of love
Since always and always it's been so rough 
But that doesn't matter as now you know 
And I really love you and my love still grow

She walked toward me in a gentle steps and slow 
She held on my jacket and stood on her toes 
She kissed me on my lips with tears in her eyes 
She apologized for being too late to realize

I shushed her and hugged her so tight 
And as time has passed and it been so quite
She said "look at you shivering just from saying that"
I said "No jerk its really one cold night"

Two months later and we got engaged 
She bought the wedding dress and I got the day arranged 
We invited a lot of people to celebrate with us
But damn! I lost all the money I saved!!

We lived our life as wonderful couple 
But sometimes we try too hard and sometimes we face troubles
But no matter what trouble we face 
We stand together fight and struggle 

One day she been fired from work and got really angry 
She said she isn't in the mood and the kids are hungry 
I told her tonight I will make the dinner for us 
So please just calm down, and go do some laundry 

For those who asked. 
Yes I wore an eye patch and had one broken leg 
I was joking, I was kidding, no matter how I begged 
She took out her anger on me 
Then she went to the kitchen and prepared some egg

A problem and solved and she is angry no more
If I to describe our love is just simple and pure 
As love is love, no matter if you are rich or poor 
We have to help each other as we have also to endure
