I Sit Alone

I sit alone and watch an enchanting sunset complete its day, I want you to sit by my side until we become old and grey. I relax knowing our love is strong and you are far away. I won’t hold you in my arms for another month they say. She went home overseas to tell her parents about our great day. She was invited home to be blessed and receive a dowry. Her parents were delighted when they heard she was going to marry me. They are both disabled, not able to come to the wedding you see. They are a loving family, holding a party to celebrate this event, I have already written to them confirming my love and intent. I am organising our wedding in the church in our village, The church contains so many memories and our heritage. My heart beats with love when I think of you as my bride, It is not long now, it seems forever, waiting for you to be by my side. I blow you a kiss, it has a long way to go, The gentle breeze will carry it to you, I know, I know.
