Inches Apart and An Honest Heart

They stood inches apart Both having a racing heart Gazing into the eyes With absolutely no reason for lies They met weeks ago Very busy and on the go A date with a drink In front of a romantic slippery frozen ice rink Now they were inches apart With a beating heart Mature tasks Challenged them to wear symbolic masks Putting aside this reality façade For a moment worthy of a cry Choosing a setting filled with floral arrangements The two enjoyed the lunchtime flowerlike engagement Having no words Listening to the chirping from the birds ‘I do’ she said “I guess now we can wed” Was the remark he did say Knowing soon there be a wedding day Bonded together Realizing life’s weather was getting better He put a ring on her finger While in the background an audio played words breathed by a singer Nervously she shook While he was on his knees she proudly stood Inches apart Remembering the honest that beat in the heart She returned to the collegiate academic look Freeing him to return to the business suit to manipulate the investment books But when the moon light glowed Honesty returned to the young girl’s beau Who she met during an innocent supportive act That changed his pinstripe tact It was a lucky chance Choreographed as a lifelong dance When she bumped into the well-grounded gold Making her emotional guard fold Inches apart A church audience listened to the romance in the beating heart Watching them commit to this start He in black she in white A decision based on true love that was right
