Nine years ago...

I met her...
We fell in love with each other...

But we must not pursue this feeling, we told ourselves.
We chose to be the best of friends instead.

One year ago...

she called me,....

"I have to tell you something.... I wasn't able to tell you the last time we met..." she said.

I jokingly replied, "what is it? are you getting married?" then I laugh softly.

Then the next words I heard stunned me.

"YES, in the next two months." she said.

then came the day of her wedding...

I went to the church.
As I was entering, I looked at the altar, and there she was.
for some reason she turned her head and saw me standing there by the door.
She looked at me and smiled... It's like she's saying,,
Friend, I'm so happy right now.

Then I walked to her and gave her a hug.
The last hug I could ever give her.
For all these years, She's been inside my heart
and now I must move on for she is happy now with another man.
