Marriage

Marriage

I remember when we were both young

You said that love was inconvenient

Yet when you went to a family wedding you couldn’t help but want that for us

Said you pictured my name intertwined with your last

Made it seem like we had a future together

As the years went by

You stopped talking about it

Only would mention it when I would bring it up

This past year you told me that you asked my dad for my hand

You planned it with a friend

But even the planning was more on her end

Where was the romance?

How was I oblivious to this?
