The Wedding Dress

It couldn't have fit me better, like it was sewn especially for me. A cruel joke from God, I thought, possibly. And yes, sadness washed over me like I knew it would. glarred so briefly at myself in the mirror. Wow, I actually could pass as being somewhat pure! Standing there studying the intricasies of pearls and beads. This is one garment in my life, that will just never be. Do you want it? You can have it, my girlfriend said to me. I looked sharply back at her and sarcastically muttered, please! You look like a princess, she added. It fits you so perfectly. I finally had all i could take, please unzip it, for heavens sake! Then i thought about it a little more as I starred at the silken train. It's exactly what I always thought I would wear. I really thought this day would come for me. I'm sure it will sell fast on ebay, to a love drowned bride to be. And she'll make the perfect wife, along with her husband, then a family.
