It feels like yesterday when we were making mud pies in my backyard.
It feels like yesterday our first day at school when we walked in class holding hands.
It feels like yesterday  when you asked me to be your girlfriend in the 7th grade.
It feels like yesterday when we had our first kiss.
It feels like yesterday when you asked me to be your date to prom.
Today you stand at the end of the aisle waiting for me........to say       I DO .

say goodbye to the cold and dark nights
bye to the thunder and lightning that gave us frights

bye to the wind that howls all day
because spring is here
lets run outside and play

when flowers bloom
because winter ended so soon
when the sun shines
and brings happiness and good times

delicately, I want to tattoo
constellations across your skin
if only for the thought that
if I can't stay with you
then at the very least
my lazy sunday morning,
scrawled out make-believe,
scattered, multihued and
hypocritical ink will.

and whenever you're lost
you can follow the stars
and come back to me.

if it ever crosses your mind...
