What Distance?

The distance between them is 
folded up like a sheet of paper. 
That first kiss, her heart
is his forever.

He carries her bags 
to the guest bedroom.
He leaves so she can 
dress for the wedding. 
It's a very simple white dress 
nothing extravagant.

As soon as his daughter 
arrives she goes to help 
the bride with hair and makeup.

He's still grieving for 
a lost daughter
And she's never wanted 
a big wedding
So they decide that 
Justice of the Peace 
can perform the ceremony.
A few of his closest friends 
meet them at the Courthouse 
to greet the bride and 
witness the document. 

After the ceremony,
they all go for a nice meal 
to celebrate. 
He can see that the length of the trip, 
and the activities of the day 
have taken their toll on her strength. 
So as soon as they can depart 
without causing hardships 
between friends, he takes her home. 

When they get back home 
they just fix a pot of tea 
and relax.
He has hopes for tonight, 
but he doesn't expect.
She keeps dropping off 
to sleep in the chair. 
So he helps her into her 
pajamas and put her to bed.
She wakens in a couple of hours 
She always does, 
such is the schedule 
of Parkinson's sleep. 

When she realizes where she's at 
what he's done for her 
she takes her overdue meds 
and waits for them to kick in.
All the while praying 
for God's blessing 
On this Union. 

When the meds have kicked in,
She goes to him
She lights the three 
candles that are 
on the bedside table.

She wakes him up 
with a gentle kiss.
His eyes hold a question
"Are you sure?"
She reassures him silently,
With another kiss.

When she feels his body respond
She backs off ever so slightly.
He misreads this only momentarily.
When he realizes she's asking 
for the voice of experience 
to take the lead, 
he does so willingly.

And the two become one
Permanently.
