today is your wedding day and I’m at a loss for what to say I reminisce on every night spent in the den by movie light
when we were six years old we didn’t do what we were told when we turned eight you became my best mate
all the summers outside in between hay bales we’d hide running across a green pasture thinking nothing else could matter
at ten you hurt me so very bad the loss of a friend I thought I had through our years we’ve worked it out spent time together without a shout
at twelve you painted my nails the middle of the night never fails to bring us closer as friends not wanting to think of how it ends
in secret we continued to share only between us did we show our care when our moms were around we were rivals on broken ground
at seventeen years old you got a little too bold called me by my old nickname from then on it was never the same
our families matched us from the start but our friendship began drifting apart so here I sit in the third wooden pew wondering what it would’ve been like with you
I watch her walk down the isle and my eyes tear up at your cheeky smile I can tell you love her, it’s true it’s not a surprise I feel a little blue
today is your wedding day and LG, I’ve just got to say it was never meant to be, even though they tried and I really am happy for your future bride
for the boy I grew up with that endured the awkwardness that was our arranged marriage since birth
